The links between islands and tourism as sights of pleasure is
embodied in the touristification of sun, sand, and sea.
Islandscapes are central to the tourist imaginaries that shape
islands as touristified places -- curated, designed, and
commodified for both mass tourism and more niche inclined versions.
Yet while islands are parlayed for touristic pleasure seekers,
islands are also home to longstanding communities that have
variously battled with the tyranny of distance from metropolitan
centers, as well as the everyday challenges of climate change
effects, and benefitted from their isolation from modern-day
pressures. To what extent are islandscapes resilient to rapidly
changing utilities, significances, and ways of life wrought by
tourism expansion? The vulnerability-resilience duality remains
firmly entrenched in the discourse on islands where tourism has
become prominent. Although tourism provides some resiliency,
overall, islandscapes remain subject to externally driven fast and
slow change that exercises an overwhelming influence. This
anthology of articles previously published in the journal Shima
explores emergent themes that describe how island peoples adapt and
respond in localized cultural islandscapes as a consequence of
tourism expansion. It is aimed at researchers in island studies,
tourism, sustainability, human geography, cultural studies,
sociology, and anthropology. The anthology will also be of interest
to those with an abiding interest in the trajectories of islands
and their peoples, particularly where tourism has come to shape
islandscapes.
