MORE than a decade ago, I advised against going ahead with a joint-venture project to develop a retirement village for foreigners. My main concerns then were the language barrier that could emerge between the foreign residents and locals, and lack of hospitality infrastructure conducive to the residents’ daily lifestyle. E-commerce was not in vogue then and there weren’t many online libraries for the foreign residents to access.
In short, just building the physical infrastructure was not enough.
