Introduction
Under which conditions a tourism specialization can be sustainable for Small Island
Economies ?
• Ambiguous results on the connections between growth and tourism
specialisation:
• Engine of growth (Lanza & Pigliaru, 2000 ; Pablo-Romero & Molina, 2013), and more
specifically for small islands economic development (Hampton & Jeyacheya, 2013 ; Seetanah,
2010)…
• …Though with a decreasing marginal impact on economic development (Holzner, 2011 ;
Adamou & Clerides, 2010).
• Our own results exhibit a non-linear connection between tourism specialisation
and vulnerability (Economic Vulnerability Index, EVI):
• Tourism specialisation increases economic vulnerability using a large sample of countries.
• We also find that for limited and strong tourism specialisation, tourism specialisation
increases economic vulnerability, though intermediate tourism specialisation does not impact
vulnerability, for SIDS and non-SIDS as well.

Introduction
• Thus thresholds affect the relationship between tourism, growth and
vulnerability
• Considering vulnerability as a risk of non-sustainability, we propose here an
analysis of these thresholds using a sustainability and total wealth
approach (Hamilton 2006, Couharde et al.2010).
• Two proposals:
• Tourism impacts on growth are shaped by the kind of tourist services supplied.
• For Small islands with high costs of production (mainly due to remoteness and
limited size of markets), differentiated tourist services, based on heritage, are more
likely to support weak and strong sustainability.
Outline
• Assets, weak and strong sustainability
• The stakes of tourism for small islands sustainability
• Tourist services: price competition vs heritage based differenciation
• Conditions for the sustainability of tourism specialization.

• Preserved social and human capital (IAC, 2013)
• Investment in economic and human capital
more than compensates the depreciation of
natural capital
• The question of public transfers (géo-strategic
capital ) ?
Weak sustainability vs vulnerability: the heterogeneity

(SIDS) au regard des critères de soutenabilité et de vulnérabilité
Rents, assets and total wealth
• Following Hamilton (2006), the natural capital is valuated through rents (the difference between
price and costs of production).
• Intangible capital is the most important component of total wealth. It encompasses all
components that are not directly computed: human capital, social capital, cultural capital,…
• Each rents can be associated to a specific capital.

Heritage based tourism and rents
• Tourist services non differentiated, competition through price (sea/beach/sun):
No rents and high costs (remotness,…)
• Differentiated tourist services (heritage based, on specific assets), sources of rents

Differentiation of tourist services:

Loss of differentiation:

capital and traditionnal sectors (ex.
Bali, île de Pâques)

degradation

Perspectives
• Tourism and connections between different kind of capital. Some
preliminary results:
• Concerning the impact of tourism on the GDP per capita
• Substituability between tourism and economic / human capital for low level of the
latters, complementarity for high level of human and economic capital
• Complementarity between tourism and natural capital
• For SIDS, complementarity between tourism and natural capital
• Integration of heritage (e.g. Arezki et al., 2009, using World Heritage
List) in the analysis of the connection between tourism and economic
development. Measuring cultural capital.
