  1. A lands natural beauty can help its business a lot. Victoria for example is a major tourism destination seeing more than 3.65 million visitors a year who inject more than one billion dollars into the local economy. Victoria is not known for much other than there beautiful scenery and breathtaking views of natural land and the pacific ocean around them. Nature is one of the primary reasons that businesses do so well in victoria, with nature bringing in all the tourists they are bound to spend money also.
