Caribbean small island developing states (SIDS) have witnessed
great upheaval and change over the last decade and a half - from
the global economic recession of 2008, the 2010 and 2021
earthquakes in Haiti, to hurricanes that devastated islands like
Jamaica, Barbuda, Dominica and The Bahamas, volcanic eruptions, and
health crises. These events are reminders of how vulnerable
Caribbean SIDS are to external and internal shocks; today Caribbean
SIDS are grappling with how to restart their economies and embrace
a "new normal" in the wake of disasters and the sharp losses in
tourism. Pandemics, Disasters, Sustainability, Tourism examines the
resilience of Caribbean SIDS and their tourism industries from the
perspectives of culture, economy, environment, politics,
psychology, social justice, and socio-historical context.
Pandemics, Disasters, Sustainability, Tourism's broad-based topics
engage scholars, students, and the public in discourse regarding
Caribbean SIDS' resilient Island economies that, facing calamity,
implement new initiatives to forge environmentally sound policies
for sustainable tourism and hospitality development.
