This unique and thoughtful book considers the tourism
specialization, economic growth, and tourism competitiveness of a
very specific type of tourism: small islands practicing warm water
island tourism. This new book thoroughly examines the phenomenon of
why some small island destinations have been more successful than
others. The main premise applied is that success and survival of
small island tourism hinges on resolving the mystery regarding the
relationship between competitiveness and quality of life. In
addressing this question, the book reviews four relevant and
interconnected concepts: tourism, competitiveness, quality of life,
and scale (or size). In doing so, the book enhances understanding
of the potential of tourism for the improvement of the quality of
life of the residents of small islands. In the last chapter of the
book, the author assesses the impact of COVID-19 on tourism and
specifically its ramifications for small island destinations.
Whether small island populations can rise from beneath the COVID
-19 burden that threatens their economic future is yet to be seen.
Small Island and Small Destination Tourism: Overcoming the
Smallness Barrier for Economic Growth and Tourism Competitiveness
is written from a sustainable perspective that combines tourism
dynamics, development, competitiveness, quality of life, and
business. As such, it is aimed at a broad but higher-level audience
including graduate students, academicians and researchers,
practitioners, policymakers, and international organizations.
