Even business men tend to shun outposts where the hot water runs cold, the cold water may be undrinkable, or the food too bacterial for tender Western stomachs. Nearly a score of underdeveloped countries have overcome the problem of sleazy accommodations - and so bolstered their economies - by turning to Inter-Continental Hotels Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of Pan American World Airways...
