Analysis Of Sterling Bay
Sterling Bay is a town with not much resource, one way the government can look to improve the economy is to use the economic approach of comparative advantage.
Sterling bay can look to attract tourist firstly with their beautiful beach which make an appealing location for honeymoons, family vacations and tourist who want to have a short getaway to relax their mind and stay away from the bustling city.
