Tourist industry is the second largest earner for Laos after mining. About 2.2 million tourist arrivals in 2010 generating revenues of $290 million for the country.
Boat, jet ski, ski boat rentals make sense. Tourist are want to do fun activity and there to spend money. I don't think most tourist or locals will buy their own jet ski or boat, used one cost around $4,000-$10,000 each.
Lao per capita income a year is $1,200 a year. I think they can afford to buy $1 store where everything you need is under $1 = 8,000 kip.

I like your fast food Van idea Tee. I also like boat rentals business, jet ski, pontoon, ski boat. How about small retail store, dollars store? Similar to what we got in the U.S and everything cost $1. We need to keep in mind average Lao worker make $100 a month, $1,200 a year. I has no experience in business.
Laos local doesn't have excessive income to buy those Dollars shop,for hiding ski shop is only seasoning business,this is market for the tourist and high end Laos. Than again they will just buy their own ski.
Food is different, We all need to eat 3 meals a day and every day.
