Description

Tropical islands are fragile and vulnerable environments that face increasing strain from coastal developments and global environmental change. This book examines how their remote locations, small size, and limited natural resources make tourism a vital economic driver, while simultaneously creating conflicts between developers, tourists, and local residents. While many studies focus on the socio-cultural and economic aspects of island tourism, this work addresses a significant gap by exploring the political ecology of environmental change. It provides a necessary perspective on how development affects these delicate ecosystems and the communities that depend on them. This text is essential for those looking to understand the complex relationship between economic growth and environmental stability in tropical island settings.

Key Features

Examines the tension between economic tourism development and the preservation of fragile tropical island environments.

Analyzes how remote locations and limited natural resources influence the economic reliance on tourism activities.

Explores the emerging conflicts that arise between local residents, international tourists, and commercial developers.

Provides a unique political ecology perspective on environmental change that is often missing from socio-cultural studies.

Addresses the impacts of coastal development and global environmental shifts on vulnerable island habitats.
