Another important fact is whether the location is near open sea. This is a very important face in developing. If the town manages to develop well then when it comes to export and import an ocean exit can be really useful. Also tourism will sure be welcome since people living in other areas with no beaches would surely go there, this is if the site has good climate. Fort Lauderdale in Florida, USA, is very popular with tourists because of its warm weather both in winter and summer.
