This book is the result of cooperation of students and lecturers at Vrije Universiteit and InHolland University, both in Amsterdam. Together these parties formed the Caribbean Project Group whose aim was to carry out research into the role of entrepreneurs in tourism development in four different countries, namely Jamaica, Belize, the Dominican Republic, and Suriname. Each of these countries represents a different stage of tourism development and the various research projects give clear insights into the complex world in which entrepreneurs move and the opportunities and limitations offered to them by the tourism industry.

Book Description
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.
