The Caribbean has the fortune—and the misfortune̬to be everyone's idea of a tropical paradise. Its sun, sand and scenery attract millions of visitors each year and make it a profitable destination for the world's fastest growing industry. Tourism is increasingly touted as its only hope of creating jobs and wealth—literally, the island's last resort. Last Resorts examines the real impact of tourism on the people and landscape of the Caribbean. It explores the structure of ownership of the industry and shows that the benefits it brings to the region do not live up to its claims. New developments in ecotourism, sex tourism, and the burgeoning cruise industry are not changing this pattern of short-term exploitation of the region's resources. The book shows how Caribbean societies are corrupted by tourism and its culture turned into floorshow parody. This new edition has been extensively revised and updated. It gives voice to people inside the tourism industry, its critics, and tourists themselves, and offers vital insights into a phenomenon that is central to the globalized world of today.

The vast majority of existing academic research of coastal tourism resort management has been undertaken in northern and southern Europe at the expense of a wider global consideration. This book aims to address this deficit and develop a global perspective on the management issues facing coastal resorts. By drawing on examples, it incorporates a detailed analysis of a range of economic, socio-cultural, political and environmental issues which are being experienced, to differing extents, by coastal tourism resorts which are at different life-cycle stages of development. The major management themes highlighted include the processes of restructuring, attempts to develop sustainable agendas and environmental issues of developing resorts in sensitive areas. Written by key experts, this book provides a critical assessment of the key management issues facing coastal tourism resorts globally. In doing so, it represents more than a mere amalgamation of existing literature as it aims to advance conceptual understanding of resort evolution and change.

How can owners and managers ensure that their considerable capital investments will return a competitive return on their investments? How can users and owners be sure they enjoy the promises of tantalizing marketing and real estate claims? Managing Sustainable Resorts Profitably combines business management principles with environmental and social concerns to offer development solutions to these questions. By taking an holistic and contemporary approach to the problem of developing sustainable tourism operations, this book provides a comprehensive assessment of the strategies that need to be considered by various governments, developers and, in particular, the customer-investor. The major features of resort development covered by this book include: • Environmental scanning of principal external and internal influential factors • The curse and blessings of seasonality • Competition for people’s recreation and retirement dollars • Guest activity programming • Environmental issues • Cruise ships as mobile resorts • Staffing issues in isolated areas • Financial challenges for owners and operators alike • Risk Management • Mutually beneficial options for various stakeholders Based on an analysis of global resort opportunities and trends, the book focuses on those generic features that differentiate regional resort management from urban-centric management needs and priorities. Using comparative case studies the author emphases best case/benchmark examples of a range of resorts – large and small, urban and rural - to illustrate what can be achieved.

This amazing story chronicles 40 years of personal struggle by Grenada developer, Leon Taylor, to create a luxury resort on a Caribbean island. His obsession with the vision of creating something outstanding on the island of his birth started when his father asked for his assistance to develop a barren estate with several beaches on the island of Grenada. After completing his post-graduate studies in Canada, Leon returned to the island in 1965 to plan the development of the estate.But even before construction could begin, the next 20 years presented him with a daunting series of political and military events that made headlines around the world.Leon's first major obstacle came in 1967, when Grenada began the slide towards political dictatorship, under a Prime Minister more interested in political power than in the island's development. The oppressive government frustrated and marginalized Leon's plans, forcing him to rely on his own personal finances to keep his company solvent until the political climate improved.But matters only worsened. In 1979, the Prime Minister was overthrown by a coup of leftist Marxist revolutionaries under the influence of Cuba and the Soviet Union. Cold-War geopolitics ushered in new and discouraging challenges to Leon's plans for the resort. Grenada's strategic location heightened its value to the Soviet Union's expansionist policies, leading to the rapid militarization of the island. The revolutionaries then dealt another severe blow to Leon's plans: they confiscated his estate to build an airport that would have linked Cuba to its war in Angola.Yet again, turmoil intervened. Within less than 5 years, the revolutionary government imploded in a bloody confrontation that led to executions, a shoot-to-kill curfew, and the largest American military operation since the end of the Vietnam War. With democracy firmly restored, Leon's plans once again shifted into high gear to develop the remaining portions of the estate surrounding the airport. When it finally opened in 1993, LaSource became the island's premier resort and largest employer in the island's tourism industry.This book is Leon's incredible true story about keeping his dream alive despite overwhelming business challenges and personal dangers under a right-wing dictator, a left-wing revolution, and military conflict. The book is filled with more than 60 pictures, which document in color the development of the resort: from Leon's first hand-sketches of the golf course valley, to pictures with famous personalities like Morgan Freeman and Robert Branson, who enjoyed the luxuries of LaSource or socialized with Leon on their visits to Grenada. The LaSource story is a must read.

In Beaches, Ruins, Resorts, Waleed Hazbun investigates this overlooked industry to show how tourism is shaping the economic development and international relations of the region in dramatic ways. Hazbun tells the new and surprising story of how the draw of glittering beaches, luxury hotels and resorts, and sightseeing at ancient ruins impact the Arab world--promoting both economic globalization and political authoritarianism.
