Island Development Model Specialisation: A Panel Data Analysis Comparing Evolutionary Tourism Model, Industrial to Community-Based (2010–2019)
Abstract
:1. Introduction
- Rq1:
- The main dimensions of the industry-based tourism model (IBTM) and community-based model (CBTM);
- Rq2:
- Comparing islands in the last ten years which followed IBTM or CBTM;
- Rq3:
- Tourism policy can favour islands in the adoption of sustainable tourism.
2. Literature Review
2.1. The Industry-Based Model
- Big hotel establishments;
- External investors, such as international hotel chains;
- High level of employment in the tourism and travel industry;
- High level of the local population;
- Durable participation of the public sector in providing public services to tourists;
- A management destination system—DMO;
- Level of product imports to satisfy the international tourist consumption;
- Non-direct tourist sectors related to tourism expenditure that receive tourism economies;
- An articulated network of tourist services, such as food services, travel agencies, tour operator reservation services, cultural, sports, recreation, agriculture, fashion, manufacturing industries, etc.;
- Public policies for management, planning, and promoting the destination.
2.2. The Community-Based Destination Model
- Self-employment of local people;
- Diffuse entrepreneurship among communities;
- Accommodation based on the non-establishment models.’
- Small dimension on local businesses;
- Local services are usually offered to the local population;
- Maintaining a local supply;
- Self-managed destination;
- Community company network based on trust;
- The public sector supports the local community and stakeholders;
- Common vision and policies are shared and decided with all the networks.
