Second, municipal collection rate of waste also increases with the level of development: less than 70% in the cities of the less developed countries, 80-95% in the cities of the developing countries, and 95-100% in the cities of the developed countries. Third, available data are not enough to indicate a clear pattern in terms of proportion of waste recycled (Table 4), but it is clear that the informal sector is primarily involved in recycling in the less developed country cities, both the informal and formal sectors coexist in the medium development countries (MDCs), and the formal sector does the recycling in the developed country cities ( Table3 ). An overall status on MSW practices by level of development can be seen from table 5.... ..."

In PAGE 61: ... Moreover, one can compare the patterns or the dependent factors among the countries. For instance, tourist arrivals from Japan, as shown in Table4 , which has the highest number of factors being related, would be highly affected by economic factors. This would give us some insight on the nature or underlying economic factors that are relevant to our decision making and thus can assist us on how to revise our tourism policy or strategy upon economic changes.... In PAGE 61: ... Based on the above discussion, it might be suggested that there is a relation- ship between economic indicators and visitor arrivals. Concerning the economic indicators of Hong Kong, the results (see Table4 ) indicate that the GDP of Hong Kong is a rather relevant indicator that affects visitor arrivals from all of our stud- ied countries except Korea. The second influential indicator is the exports of Hong Kong, which affect visitor arrivals from the United States, Japan, and Tai- wan.... In PAGE 61: ... On the side of the originating countries, GNP is again an important indicator for predicting visitor arrivals. Four out of six countries are affected by this indica- tor (see Table4 ).

However, the money supply of Singapore is not considered because Singapore only reports its money supply after 1997 and does not have sufficient data for the analysis.
