Lets talk about import leakage.

Import Leakage happens when certain products need to be imported into a place to meet tourist standards.

So let’s say for instance that you decide to order a Coca-Cola drink while in Colombia. Since Coca-Cola is a United States-based company, the money spent on that drink will end up in the bank accounts of the corporation rather than the independently owned food cart owner you purchased it from.

So you’re probably thinking that any reasonable business will place an upcharge on their products in order to turn a profit? Of course they will. But as more tourists come along with specialized tastes, the demand for imported products remains steady.

The result? A constant need for business owners to use a portion of their profits to continue to import expensive foreign goods. For developing economies the effects are even worse. The average import leakage in developing countries is around 50% of total revenue earned.
