[Wolfe1924]

pretty much as title says i have beat every mission on hard and tried to do everything i could think of for a high tourist rating however i can not get it past 76. maybe their is something i'm missing or over looking what do you guys do to achieve high tourist ratings?

ok here is everything you can do for high filthy rich tourist rating

1. build 4-5 tobacco hydroponic farms max the budgets for those buildings enact the farm subsidies and buy the fertilization upgrades for those farms .
2. build 3 libraries one university and one research lab upgrade lab with neural network and max the budget for lab. set the libraries to support the arts and max the budget and purchase both upgrades
3. research and enact prohibition
4. build a ministry and place a capitalist ministry of economics
all of that will give you a +200% efficiency to those hydro farms in step 1.
5. build 3 cigar factories and set the mode to supply local industry.
6. in local tourist area build the following 6 lux hotels in a cluster of 2x3
7. right next to that build a metro station fast food joint and fire station. max the budget for those 3 buildings and set the fire station to cat in tree and fast food joint to free home delivery.
8. close by the hotels build one beauty farm set mode to scalpel and champagne max the budget and buy the upgrade.
9. on the coast build 5 yacht clubs max the budgets and set them to mode 3. VIP mode and buy the upgrade ( private landing)
10. build a child museum set the mode to religious fostering max the budget buy the upgrade and build right next to the museum 3 radio stations.
11. demolish all other tourist attractions

with all this done the yacht clubs will have a service quality of 150 and the beauty farm will be at 142 give it time to process all the tourists and then watch the rating climb the upgrades for the yacht clubs add +10 to whatever the final rating for the tourist was and most times the final rating before leaving on a yacht will be around 82-89 if they leave by boat (which most will using this setup ) the final rating will be between 92-99)

I just cleared the mission on hard, I believe it should be relatively straight forward.

First, build up your treasury and income, as you have no time constraints. I personally move all buildings to the main island for efficiency, making the supply-chain and travel easier. There's plenty of space anyway and your start with a lot of money. Industries that focus on crops and logs fare well here: apparel, canned goods, chocolate, cigars, furniture, rum, pharmaceuticals (placebos, with research), etc.

Second, focus on building the highest quality buildings. This should go without saying, but as you are fabulously wealthy and in Modern Times, you should be providing your citizens with the best possible services. This is especially important for the "Fun" entertainment buildings as tourists will be visiting them.

To maximize entertainment quality, set at maximum budget, build a Ministry and hire the Capitalist economic advisor, do NOT pass the "Mandatory Siesta" edict (as it will lower service quality) and dot the island with upgraded radio stations (spread them out, the bonus does not stack). You should be building the following entertainment buildings:

- Beach Resorts; ensure the local area is beautiful and upgrade, quality should be over 100.
- Yacht Club; same as above.
- Hang Gliding; same as above.
- Gourmet Restaurants; build three fish farms, set to supply local market, upgrade is not necessary and wastes electricity.
- Beauty Farm/Rehab Center: Mandatory for mission, high quality.
- Movie Theaters; to account for poor Tropicans, quality should be about ~97. Having three or four should be fine, some tourists will inevitably visit them.
- Do NOT steal world wonders, most of their service quality is low.

Thirdly, build only (upgraded) Hotels, Luxury Hotels, and Super Villas. The tourist ports and airport should only be accepting Rich and Filthy Rich tourists. This will ensure they can purchase the high-end entertainment services. Keep tourism in one sector of the city, do NOT spread it throughout the whole island. In the tourist region, ensure crime safety and beauty are high. You may construct Houses for Tropicans, setting them to the "Show Off" workmode to provide a little beauty while reducing worker travel time.

Basically, if you construct a building that provides a service quality of less than 90, something isn't right. I recommend a lot of Beach Resorts and Hang Gliders as they do not require electricity, which puts less strain on your power grid.

Hope this helps.

May I add that rebel attacks significantly reduces tourism rating, and population cap could stop the influx of tourist.

This is an old post but it comes up on top of the Google search. This question is about Spitter mission, which has some helpful features that do not exist in other missions. In addition to using edicts that increase tourism rating and setting all tourism buildings and entertainment for tourists on maximum budget, we can use celebrities as well.

I did positive replies on the celebrity Spitter posts to lure them in as residents, then set their occupation to Open House. I had 3 celebrities always in that mode. Also, I set Fantasy Reviews in cyber security center on repeat and that helped to push this to win the mission.

Hope this helps someone. Thanks for all the replies above!

One helpful trick is to build hotels near fire stations and set the fire stations to cat-in-a-tree mode, then max at their budgets. This increases the housing quality of the hotels. Building radio stations and getting the music all day upgrade also increases service quality of entertainment buildings. Also, appoint an environmentalist to minister of foreign affairs for a 5 point increase to tourism ratings. Every little bit helps when getting your rating as high as possible.
