摘要

Small islands developing states (SIDS) are often viewed as being vulnerable to economic shocks since these islands may possess limited resources to sustain economic growth. Thus, consideration of inclusive growth strategies is welcomed. This book is written by Hampton and Jeyacheya (2013) and is a report supported by the Commonwealth Secretariat and the World Bank. The authors suggested that the tourism sector plays a 'catalytic role' in small island developing states. Developing the tourism sector however, comes with certain challenges which make it a limited growth strategy for SIDS and therefore the authors sought to report on these challenges by providing numerous pieces of evidence from four SIDS, Jamaica, Maldives, Mauritius and Seychelles.
