I think you are missing the point. Once the poll closes, the winner is set in stone. No contigency required. You are correct suggesting we may end up with a festival in the middle of nowhere and with the closest building being 3000 nm away. (like if Antartica wins)... but that's that.
The choice of location is via a poll, not via an "available scenery" analysis. It's just the way it is.
I didn't miss that point at all. I'm offering a perspective on this possible end result. During our discussions so far it seems to me that few promoted virtually desolate regions. Most floated the idea sort of generally, but I got the impression most who participated were pulling for a few places in Europe, mostly somewhat developed, the US, again somewhat developed, and the Carribean, same deal.

100% propaganda. I like it.

I know nothing about doing that, and I have zero time. My point wasn't that someone was committed, my point was that people suggested that by choosing a barren area people would develop for it.
In my opinion, it would be in all our interests to promote (propagandize) one out of two things:
- getting people to commit to developing airports etc for the chosen area, and then do what's possible to make it happen,
- getting people to NOT vote for non-developed areas, if the above is unrealistic
Of course, the above two hinge upon the notion that people actually want to see scenery and airports during the festival. Maybe you don't. Mabye I'm the only one who cares about it. I certainly won't make it a priority to attend if it's going to be what it is today in Japan. Looks incredibly boring to me.
