Ultimately, this high cost of tiles affects their competitiveness in the business as well. In the tourism industry, construction materials such as wall tiles, floor tiles, and bathware are used for most constructions. The cost of construction is as high as the sky so even the Government has a problem in allocating money for construction capital expenditure. They take a bank loan with the greatest difficulty and pay twice the price for wall tiles and floor tiles from the money they borrowed. The tariff rates are extraordinarily high, not only with regard to tiles but in terms of most construction items.
