This is really the benefit of proper city planning and infrastructure

      the Okinawa arena is 5 kms to Toguchi breach lined with hotels , it's different from Jakarta and just going to a nearby beach which you would need to alot a night over at least, Anyar beach ( which isn't decent is 2 hours away) ,
      While Okinawa offers accommodations and accessibility in relation to beaches and world cup basketball, nothing can compare to the genuine tropical paradise like Bali, Coron or Boracay. So yeah watch the games live and spend your downtime in beaches of Okinawa. but I would rather watch the games live, and after the tournament is over, have real destination holidays in Bali, Palawan or in Boracay.

          Nah... As long organizers will not banning beers, One Arm band (LGBT logo), etc... then they were OK with.... And as for infrastructure, Maybe you are not aware that PNR extension train near PHL Arena is about to finish and maybe will operate months before 2023 WC... I'm sure PHL government aware of that scenario.... Pres. BBM is also a tourist enthusiast... Tourism is one of his main priority when he won the presidential race last June....

                • Philippines have completed lots of infrastructure (LRT etc) , it's the lack of execution, design and well thought process.
                  Planning is terrible, the cities and infrastructure are poorly designed

                    well, we could just embrace what Bangkok has done (red light district) and make it the main feature of tourism related activities, esp during the FIBA World Cup.

                    Robert btw the way was the banned poster here at IBN who is based in the Middle East

                      Seriously though , Bangkok actually has done a good job, their Airport is great, I landed in their airport for the U18 FIbA Asia ( in 2018) took their train network from the airport straight into the venue.
                      arriving in NAIA i hear is caotic ,and had this friend tell this story that cab driver charged P 8 k cause person was a tourist just to get to Makati ,
                      Smart well design infrustruture does matter

                      Did Robert move from Saudi to Greece?

                        I went home last August after 3 years. The requirements post covid are confusing as hell and the people/directions inside the airport doesn't really help. Traffic still hasn't changed and the drivers are still angriest in world lol

                        • What does a day of commuting in Manila look like? It’s standing in a queue for hours, squeezing yourself among commuters in a packed train, leaving no room for the Holy Spirit with how everyone’s...


                          This is the real issue ... BTW it's not that we don't invest , but we do a poor job of execution

                            My 11 y.o. son quoted this not long ago "the true mark of an advanced society is not when all people can afford to buy a car, but when rich people choose to take the public transportation"

                            I think PHL has long ways to go

                            • Not many people realize this but the US model of residential suburbs and traveling to work (central business district) via cars is flawed poorly designed city. There are some societies today that frown if you rely on a car and especially if it's used as a status symbol . The true metric of how advance nations should be is when normal folks are rich in experience (includes access to travel, places, education, health care etc ).
                              Gone is the hierarchy levels of class society (which some here in IBN like Peezones think it's a criteria to know and do things in other places ) Sorry for the side comment , but it's reflective of the different paradigm

                                Ph transport system has poor rail industry (from PNR to MRT/LRT) and it doesn?t have binding agreement with the buses. PH should have been using cards for trains and buses (like SG or HK set-up) since we’re one of those countries in asia to have the LRT/PNR. It’s Plus points for foreign visitors rather than to hire uber or taxis. I?m working at MTM and I’m using myki card while sydney has opal.

                                If the standard is having a good public transport system (and not PUSO), melb and sydney could?ve host this world cup.
