Book Synopsis Making Tourism Work for Small Island Developing States by : World Tourism Organization. Department of Sustainable Development of Tourism
Book excerpt: For many islands, tourism is the main economic activity in terms of income generation, employment creation and foreign exchange earnings. However, due to their small size, islands are also particularly vulnerable to the negative environmental and social impacts that tourism can sometimes bring. This report reviews the current status of tourism in small island developing states (SIDS) and considers the key policy issues that need to be considered in order to support the management of sustainable tourism development for the long-term.
