Resort and spa in foreign country

Anyone have experience with opening a resort (pool, bar, restaurant, convenience store, excursions, tours etc) in a foreign country. Im looking at Philippines. Any resources to get started would be greatly appreciated. Im currently with a group of investors and we have started formulating a buisness plan for this and have hired an architect for design.

However i cant find to much information online on navigating through this and mitigating as much risk as possible. Any help is GREATLY APPRECIATED!

ALSO any ideas of which banks example foreign versus north american banks to fund foreign property. The catch here is im a dual citizen of Canada and Philippines!

Any help is greatly appreciated
