Yes most of them are indeed very profitable, both in $ as in XP.

But, spending $1.5B building and demolishing Paradise Cinemas will yield some 300,000 XP, which is less than half of that needed to get to the next xp level. And it will take 9.4 years of constant collecting to regain those $1.5B with one Paradise Cinema. During this time you can collect just over 1M XP from this same Paradise Cinema.

I know 300,000 XP might sound like a lot for some people, but at the moment it takes me two to three weeks to collect that much XP from my island. Yes it is a bit slow leveling up, but I have been playing this game for three years now and plan to continue playing it for another couple of years, so why hurry?

So rephrasing my question: why spend so much money for such a relatively small boost in XP when with a little patience you can collect the same amount of XP in just a couple of weeks? Again I'm not saying nobody should do that, I'm just really curious if there is something I overlooked about the benefit of this 'strategy'.
