Success of private clubs in Asia induces CCA to expand, but others are joining the game
Article Abstract:
The CCA Group (CCA) owns or operates a total of 23 private clubs throughout the Asian region. The company's success has prompted it to initiate an ambitious expansion drive into new markets such as Thailand, Indonesia, Burma and the Philippines. CCA faces increasing competition from new rivals but observers agree that expansion is a wise move, considering the growing affluence in the region and the lucrative nature of the business.

Malaria remains a bane of travelers in Asia as diagnosis, choice of drugs pose challenges
Article Abstract:
Malaria is still a deadly disease, especially in some parts of Asia where the most potent strains are found. These areas include Burma, China, Cambodia and Thailand. What makes matters worse is the dearth of funds allocated to research on the disease. Thus, drugs that are in current use have either proven to be ineffective or capable of producing symptoms that are even more deadly than the disease itself.
