| This report is the outcome of a nine-month study of the situation of tourism planning and development in 21 countries and areas, which are American Samoa, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Cook Islands, Fiji, French Polynesia (Tahiti), Guam, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, Nauru, New Caledonia, Niue, Papua New Guinea, Republic of Palau, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tokelau, Tonga, Tuvalu, Vanuatu and Wallis and Futuna. The report consists of four parts, which are: (1) regional overview of tourism development; (2) problems and constraints of future tourism development; (3) tourism policy in the region; and (4) developmental strategies. Part one addresses the basic circumstances of the region, the recent significance of tourism, the economics of tourism in the region, the sociocultural impacts, and the environmental impacts of tourism in the region. Part two considers problems and constraints of tourism development especially the economic and socio-cultural issues. Part three contains an examination of tourism policy in the region, regional cooperation, the principal determinants of policy and the “leap” from policy to strategy. And, part four considers the present state-of-the-art in the region, the present corpus of attractions and services, the theoretical underpinnings of developmental strategies, and the expression of strategies in the region, concluding with the examination of nine lingering problems. |
