Introduction: This article will focus on how the debt ceilings of countries around the world can affect international management, hospitality and Aruba. The paper will examine the US debt ceiling.

This article will examine how these debt limits could affect international leaders in the future, while showing examples of past debt crisis situations. The paper will attempt to answer the following questions: • What is a debt ceiling? • What are the potential dangers? • What can be done to try to resolve these problems? • What does this have to do with international management? It will have two main parts with subsections under each. The first part will basically cover the history of the debt ceiling primarily in the United States.
