Wales is one of the four component nations of the United Kingdom. It is a peninsula outlined by England on the east and encompassed by the Welsh Channel in the south, St George's Channel at the west, and the Irish Sea at the north. It constitutes a dichotomy in natural endowments. Most of its terrain is mountainous and rocky albeit being surrounded by gigantic expanse of waters on three of its borders. So much for its scenic beauty!
Economic Development in Wales: Wales experienced a boom in the service sector from the 1970s. It has been drawing a large amount of Foreign Direct Investment since then. As it possesses a beautiful panorama, it is a favorite haunt among tourists who thereby contribute substantially to Wales' Gross Domestic Product. Wales ensures high standards of teaching in its Universities so that its current student community will be able to contribute heavily to the future economic development of the nation.
