本研究借鉴发展经济学和可持续旅游业的理论，探讨了主权和非主权小岛屿旅游经济体 (SITE) 之间的差异，并确定了加勒比地区过度旅游的前因和影响。研究设计基于对选定的加勒比 SITE 的比较案例研究。案例研究涉及详细的实证调查，在现实生活背景下调查当代现象。案例研究的主要目的是提供所研究现象所涉及的条件和过程的背景分析。比较案例研究是一种适当的研究方法，可以用有限的经验证据探索新的多方面概念。结果证实了先前的研究，即非主权站点对旅游专业化具有独特的超速驱动力。此外，研究结果表明，过度旅游是由全球和国内政策因素驱动的，并产生严重的经济波动、社会不平等和生态压力。本文讨论了加勒比地区不断发展的经济脱节、环境衰退和社会紧张局势对旅游政策的影响。提出了向更具包容性的发展过渡和加强加勒比小岛屿旅游业发展弹性的政策建议。
Drawing on theories of development economics and sustainable tourism, this research explores the differences between sovereign and nonsovereign small island tourism economies (SITEs) and identifies the antecedents and effects of overtourism in the Caribbean.,The research design is based on a comparative case study of selected Caribbean SITEs. Case study research involves a detailed empirical inquiry that investigates a contemporary phenomenon within its real-life context. The main purpose of a case study is to provide a contextual analysis of the conditions and processes involved in the phenomenon under study. A comparative case study is an appropriate research methodology to explore new multi-faceted concepts with limited empirical evidence.,The results confirm previous studies that nonsovereign SITEs have a distinctive overdrive toward tourism specialization. Moreover, the findings indicate that overtourism is driven by both global and domestic policy factors and generates significant economic volatility, social inequality and ecological stress. The paper discusses the tourism policy implications of the evolving economic disconnectedness, environmental decay and social tensions in SITEs in the Caribbean.,Policy recommendations are presented for transitioning toward a more inclusive development and strengthening the resilience of small island tourism development in the Caribbean.
