Rethinking Tourism and Environmental Governance Subtitle: A Study of Decision-Making in St. Kitts for Long-term PreservationRethinking Tourism and Environmental GovernanceBook Description Explore the critical intersection of tourism and environmental sustainability in the Caribbean with "Rethinking Tourism and Environmental Governance." This insightful book delves into the challenges faced by the wider Caribbean region, especially in economies heavily dependent on tourism. The narrative takes a deep dive into the delicate balance between economic growth and environmental preservation, using the case study of St. Kitts.Preface Overview In the preface, the author highlights the pivotal moment the Caribbean finds itself in, having experienced remarkable growth in tourism over two decades. However, this success comes at a cost-the strain on finite natural resources and the resulting environmental decay. The book underscores the irony that an industry designed to showcase natural beauty has become a significant contributor to its decline.Key Themes Explored1. Closed Environmental PolicyThe research contends that St. Kitts exhibits a closed environmental policy, where citizen concerns are not adequately considered in decision-making. 2. Citizen EngagementEmphasizes the importance of soliciting opinions and concerns from citizens and stakeholders to create a comprehensive understanding of the issues at hand. 3. Government-Community RelationsAddresses the need for fostering support and trust in government actions to avoid confusion and resentment, which can impede effective environmental policies. 4. Perceptions and BeliefsInvestigates the perceptions, opinions, attitudes, and beliefs of local citizens regarding the environment, tourism development, and the relationship between government leaders and citizens. 5. Exclusion and Self-InterestExplores the hypothesis that specific user groups feel excluded from the decision-making process and that government actions may be driven by the self-interest of the political and economic elite. 6. Recommendations for Sustainable DevelopmentProvides recommendations based on research findings, including the importance of increasing public awareness, environmental education programs, involving specific groups in project planning, and empowering the community to take responsibility for their surroundings. 7. Youth InvolvementAdvocates for the involvement of young people in implementing recommendations, recognizing their role in shaping the future of sustainable development.
