    People in those places perhaps aren't cruising and traveling the world as much as those from more advanced nations do.

    Maybe they don't care, or have more serious issues to be concerned about than a virus that causes flu-like symptoms.

    It makes sense that the most popular places to travel would have more cases if safety measures are not in place.

    Because there is more international travel to the developed world so more chances of transmission across borders. An area with little international travel will have fewer chances for the spread of the virus. 

    Did you really need me to tell you this? You seriously couldn't figure this out on your own?
