This book is about the search for solving the small island paradox
by tracing the forces that explain growth and prosperity in small
island destinations. The small island paradox is a conceptual trap:
small islands cannot grow in economic terms because they are small,
and they are small in economic terms because they cannot grow. The
underlying premise of the paradox is that small is ugly and big is
beautiful. Luckily for small islands their reality is different.
Tourism specialization explains much of the forces that have shaped
growth and prosperity in small islands. Their degree of tourism
specialization utilizes these forces in seeking to promote growth
in these small islands. Keeping the forces working that have
triggered growth and prosperity has now become more complicated as
a consequence of sameness, costs disease and limitations imposed by
size constraints. Moving ahead requires commanding higher prices
from tourists and increased collaboration to provide greater value
to the tourists. However, this route challenges the mainstream
economics literature. The Small Island Paradox, Tourism
Specialization as a Potential Solution is the result of a long
search for an approach
