How will we gain from Apec?

IT is said that the Apec meeting in Port Moresby will bring economic benefits for Papua New Guinea.
It is anticipated that PNG will pick up on cash flow and other benefits, including a major boost to tourism.
While we are of the view that we will be on the receiving end, it has been widely publicised in the media that many delegates will not be staying in Port Moresby, but will live abroad and fly in for meetings then fly out again at the end of the day.
How does this support the argument that we will benefit from Apec? Someone needs to explain this.
Is this argument only meant to justify the spending spree that is
exhausting the country’s scarce resources, but allowing the government to build world-class facilities to host rich nations?
Our hospitals are in dire need of medicine, our transport infrastructures in the provinces are falling apart, polio has returned and the vaccination programme is facing a shortage of funds, teachers are facing pay cuts and the list goes on.
Right after the conclusion of the Apec summit, we the ordinary Papua New Guineans demand a thorough explanation from the government on how we as a country will benefit from Apec and how much we have made so far from the summit.
