Pros And Cons

Public-private partnership (PPP) arrangements have been used all over the world to develop infrastructure and provide public services. The principle of this procurement option seems sound. It consists of obtaining a (private) partner who makes the upfront initial investments, manages the infrastructure that will be paid for during its lifespan and assumes all of the corresponding responsibilities. However, the empirical world has proven that frequently results are different from those expected and that the price to pay for service is greater than predicted and sometimes even greater than when traditional public works are involved. With respect to the use of PPP projects, Brazil is no exception. Currently, it is making one of the biggest PPP investments in the world. This paper discusses the use of the PPP model in the Brazilian water sector, its pros and cons and the existing dangers. It also makes some recommendations to improve these contracts. Although the balance seems positive, this research provides some evidence of room for improvement because preliminary studies and procurement documents are seldom well prepared, there is little competition, the risk matrix is unbalanced, favoring renegotiations and the private sector, and contract management is inadequate.

Private Sector Involvement

Public Private Partnership (PPP) has emerged as a key prospective for involving the private sector in the provision of infrastructure and other public services. There is a room for debate as to whether private sector involvement necessarily implies private finance. The term PPP could cover situations where private investment is brought, to improve the efficiency of public expenditure and private finance. PPP are not vehicles for privatizing public services since the Government retains full political accountability for the services. They simply are the means by which the Government can use what private sector offers to improve its own performance. It is done by establishing own arrangements often through legally binding contracts that will bring benefit to both sectors. The private sector needs to earn return on its ability to invest and perform. The Government should therefore look very carefully at PPPs, because if economic advancement can be made via infrastructure improvements, it may meet any increased cost of involving the private sector. This article brings an overview of the PPP terminology in infrastructure with emphasis on the roads sector. It highlights on the framework and sectoral overview of road sector in the light of PPP process and phases.

In recent years, China needs far more financing for transportation infrastructure than can be provided by the government alone. Meanwhile the capacity of the Chinese government to provide public services on its own in an effective and efficient way is being questioned and reassessed at various levels. Accordingly, the involvement of private investors in the development of Metropolitan Transportation Systems (MTS) has been promoted by the Chinese public sector by means of adopting the Public Private Partnership (PPP) model. However, China's dynamic and complex political, financial, legal and regulatory environment makes the private sector adjust to accommodate the existing regime by way of understanding the driving factors in PPP applications for improving the chances of project success. This paper presents two case studies in China's MTS. Based on a case study and comprehensive literature review, 15 driving factors associated with PPP projects from the perspective of the Chinese public sector have been identified. A structured questionnaire survey targeting the public sector has been conducted to seek, analyze and integrate its perception of the driving factors. Through statistical analysis of the relative significance of each of these driving factors, the writers determined five common major dimensions of the Chinese public sector's purpose in developing PPP schemes, and the key factors that quantify each purpose. The establishment of the measures for these objectives and the key factors that quantify each of these purposes will likely be useful in encouraging private participation in infrastructure management and directing/concentrating efforts of the private sector to deliver quality public services under mutually beneficial long‐term contractual arrangements.

Ensuring high productivity in public services has been required to be achieved by reducing costs and at the same time by raising standards. This is indeed a challenge intended for which the public sector has turned its eyes on the market. The latter's mechanisms and management methods used by the private sector in the production and delivery of services have become the management philosophy that has characterized public sector reforms in recent decades. Nowadays the main objectives of public sector organizations are to reduce costs and increase the efficiency of operations, which has steered these organizations towards the outsourcing model. Transferring or subcontracting a private entity for some of the operations of public institutions is a concept already known to public sector managers. Heads of various public institutions see the transfer of part of their operations or all operations to private entities as the proper way to provide added value public services. One of the widely used ways of engaging private parties in public projects is the Public Private Partnership (PPP). Implementation of this public-private partnership ensures immediate service availability, debt and public budget avoidance, management, technology and higher performance in service standards and contract enforcement. This type of engagement requires a great deal of attention to the legal framework in order for the private sector to participate in public affairs and services in a regular and reasonable manner and also in order to protect the public interest, maximize the value for money and ensuring appropriate risks sharing.

In the last fifty years world tourism and hospitality industry experienced a phenomenal growth of international tourist arrivals, overnights and receipts. It is widely recognized that the tourism became one of the most dominating socio-economic activities at the beginning of the 21st Century. The example of Croatia speaks in favour of that statement. Tourism is the most prosperous industry and the essential development factor in Croatia. The great share of tourism results refers to family business that is of high importance to development strategy of Croatian tourism. Family business in Croatian tourism is based on households and family hotels. Family hotels are recognized on the tourism market by its original and identifiable service imbued with indigenous values and cultural heritage, diversity and individuality. Moreover, they are the most sound and prosperous segment of Croatian tourism and their top-level quality and high professionalism are basic elements of tourism development. Croatian strategic tourism development documents highlight the participation of private sector in tourism development. One of the possible ways of such participation is through public-private partnership (PPP). There are many examples of public-private partnerships in tourism around the world. According to world experiences, marketing and promotions and product development are the main areas where public-private partnership has developed. Despite the fact that tourism is very important economy generator, Croatian experiences with integral implementation of public-private partnerships in tourism are only at the beginning. The aim of this paper is to examine how Croatian family hotels could take a part in establishing public-private partnerships in tourism. Considering the world best practices on publicprivate partnership in tourism investment, the paper also suggests two acceptable partnership models. The first is related to existing tourism clusters while the second is more innovative and is related to the development of a new tourist complex. Proposed public-private partnership model for the new tourist complex development includes government (on local or/and national level) as public sector representative and family hotels as private sector representative.
