Passport sales programmes have concentrated in island microstates. This paper analyses organisational factors and strategic management leading to comparative success or failure of these economic citizenship programmes. Each passport sales business in the Pacific islands has had a brief life—the majority continuing for a few years, at most. They evo...
The flags of convenience (FOCs) shipping system promotes laissez-faire global capitalist development and has become dominant in providing the legal framework for ocean commerce in recent decades, as it has largely replaced the national flag shipping system. FOCs reduce the powers of nation-states in taxing, owning, and regulating property; controll...
The PRC and Taiwan are competing to gain diplomatic recognition from Pacific Islands states, a number of which recognise Taiwan and serve as a barrier to its international isolation. Since much of Oceania is in Australia's sphere of influence, this struggle has often involved Canberra. This paper focuses on the intensifying conflict–with conclusion...
Pacific Island tax havens have apparently collected $153,450,000 from (mostly ethnic Chinese) purchasers of passports. This paper considers the evolution of passport sales in Tonga, Samoa, the Marshall Islands, Vanuatu and Nauru and internal and international opposition to them. Tension exists between different conceptions of citizenship within the...
In this paper we investigate a perennial issue in tourism policy, planning and research: how mature destinations can deal with the problem of stagnation and potential decline. The paper first examines the most influential model of tourism development: the tourist area life cycle model, indicating some of its strengths and limitations. We then discu...

Pacific Islands offshore financial centers (ofcs) are battling against the danger that international organizations will cut them off from the global financial system. Since 1999 the image of the region’s tax havens has been most shaped by the “horror story” of Nauru—the media’s account of how Nauru has been involved with the Bank of New York and ot...
Risk havens in offshore financial centres play an increasingly important role in capitalist risk management. They gain strength from cycles in the insurance industry (during hard markets) and from the mystified notion of a 'litigation explosion' that is used to reduce the rights of injured plaintiffs, particularly in times when insurers experience...
Since 1990 financial frauds have been associated with pseudo-states in thePacific Islands, particularly the Dominion of Melchizedek. The relative success of these schemes can be understood in terms of (i) the general atmosphere of overconfidence about financial dealings that prevailed during the decade to early 2000, (ii) Melchizedek's creation of...
The first Pacific Islands offshore financial centre was born in 1966 on Norfolk Island. This paper analyses the historical trajectory of Norfolk Island's tax haven in terms of its dialectical tensions with the Australian federal government tensions between self-determination and subordination which emerge from Norfolk's anomalous status as a self-g...
This paper provides an overview of how hosting offshore financial centres affects the internal development of Pacific island countries. While offshore financial centres have been attractive development options for many regional élites, none has become fully functional and the returns have often disappointed the island politicians who sponsored them...
This paper assesses the capacity of local communities and sub-national governments to influence patterns of tourism development, within the context of a globalizing economy. Through a comparison of the contrasting examples of Hawaii and Queensland, the paper indicates the consequences of different approaches to land use regulation. It points to the...
This paper addresses two interrelated issues in tourism development: horizontal integration within tourism's component sectors and attempts at vertical integration between them. The paper employs a conceptual framework adapted from regulation theory, to assess the dynamics of these processes, particularly in relation to airlines and hotels. Through...

The rise of ethnic nationalism (as expressed by the political ascent of Pauline Hanson and her One Nation Party) has created divisions within the Right of Australian politics and impediments to a privatisation program which had been proceeding under the aegis of the Labor Party and the Liberal-National Party Coalition over the last fifteen years. T...
This paper examines the most influential model of tourism development, the life cycle model, which has defined a ‘normal science’ of evolution for tourism destinations. The model is internally coherent, logical, easily intelligible and was used extensively as a guide to predicting development. For all destinations it postulates a path of steady gro...
With the rise of economic globalisation and the increasing power of supra-national forces (particularly major corporations), the capacities of national governments to regulate economic development have declined. However, the role of sub-national governments, particularly state governments, has grown, as national governments have looked to local and...
This paper provides a comparative perspective on the development of tourism in Queensland through analysing the history of tourism in Hawaii. Both Queensland and Hawaii are heavily dependent on tourism, with the future of tourism being a constant focus of public debate in each case. Since Hawaii embarked on tourism development decades before Queens...
In the present international political and economic context, the problem of how to deal with stagnation and possible decline in tourism demand is pressing. In this paper, we examine how mature tourism destinations might address this problem. We focus on the patterns of development and land use regulation followed in the two largest destinations in...

... United Airlines owned the Westin chain, while Trans World Airlines (TWA) purchased Hilton International as part of its diversification strategy in the late 1960s. Despite this and for reasons related in part to the dramatic deregulation of the industry, most airlines subsequently have divested ownership in IHCs, realizing that management of an IHC takes them away from their core business and has failed to provide risk diversification benefits during crises and recessions since when one industry is doing poorly, typically the other one is also suffering losses (Lafferty & van Fossen, 2001). ...

... It is characterized by stages of exploration (visits by a small number of tourists), involvement (as tourists increase, local residents begin to provide facilities), development (depicting a well-defined tourist market area), consolidation (where a major part of an area's economy is tied to tourism), stagnation (capacity levels being reached or exceeded with environmental, social and economic problems) and decline/rejuvenation (unable to compete with new attractions/tapping of new tourism resources). As an outcome, the tourism area life cycle (TALC) framework has formed the basis for assessing the development of destinations worldwide (Bojanic, 2005;Fossen & Lafferty, 1998;Getz, 1992;Szromek, 2019;Zhong, Deng, & Xiang, 2008). An underlying feature of TALC is its factoring of socio-economic and environmental impacts, sustainable management and capacity, thereby making it a holistic assessment of tourism progress. ...
... In 2003 and 2005, Tongan commoners took to the streets to protest in support of greater democracy and against media censorship (Singh and Prakash 2006). They also caused widespread damage to the capital, Nuku`alofa, in riots in 2006 prompted by the stalling progress of democracy and perceptions of dishonest governance processes regarding trade and business dealings that favoured the nobility (Campbell 2008;van Fossen 2018). In the early years of the twenty-first century, civil conflicts engulfed parts of Kanaky/ New Caledonia, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands and Vanuatu, and were attributed to a combination of poor livelihood opportunities, urban migration squeezes and ethnic tensions (Storey 2005;Wainwright 2003). ...
... Hawaii has built a strong regulatory state based on a unique local history of a centralised kingdom, highly concentrated plantations and a post- statehood democratic 'one-party state' oriented towards social democracy (Smith and Pratt 1992). Consequently, it has much stronger regulation of tourism markets than Queensland (van Fossen and Lafferty 1997). As a consequence real estate is in very short supply, with sales and marketing occupying a relatively minor role. ...
... The convenience flag has affected the legal framework for the maritime trade in recent decades. Flying foreign state flags is a common phenomenon in the global shipping industry, and it has adverse effects on the shipping order: most of the ships registered in convenience flag countries cannot meet safe operation standards [38]. ...
... The conflict usually involves the citizens opposing tourism development, and businesses supporting it for the reasons of economic growth. At the macro level there has been a discussion of a more efficient allocation of land for tourism versus other purposes (Mao et al., 2014;Van Fossen & Lafferty, 2001). Examples of literary focus in tourism include allocation of land and its impact on tramways (Pearce, 2001); impact on tourists' non-consumptive recreational activities (Loomis et al., 2007); and impact on demand for construction (Mao et al., 2014). ...
... The state advertises its diverse tourism products which include natural beauty as displayed in parks, beaches, rainforests and volcanic deserts (Hawaii Tourism Authority, 2012b). It presents itself as an island paradise for the sun and surf markets and is the most advanced tourism cluster in the Oceanic region (Lafferty & Van Fossen, 2003). ...
... Los hallazgos de otras áreas del conocimiento han demostrado que las asociaciones entre miembros de la cadena de valor presentan el potencial de, simultáneamente, reducir costes, mejorar la calidad del servicio y crear nuevas oportunidades de negocio (Duffy y Fearne, 2004;Prater, Frazier y Reyes, 2005;Waller, Johnson y Davis, 1999). En el ámbito turístico, las colaboraciones han sido percibidas como una necesidad debido al carácter fragmentario de la industria (Ritchie y Crouch, 2003;Wang y Fesenmaier, 2007) y a la naturaleza aglutinante del paquete turístico (Lafferty y van Fossen, 2001;Theuvsen, 2004). No obstante, la mayor parte de la investigación se ha centrado en el desarrollo de los destinos (Jamal y Getz, 1995;Mutch, 1996;Selin y Beason, 1991) y en el marketing estratégico (Bagnall, 1996;Medina-Muñoz y García-Falcón, 2000;Riege y Perry, 2000) pero no tanto en la efectividad de los canales de distribución en los mercados emisores. ...
... Most scholars believe that TIA has a positive effect on tourism economic development or economic efficiency (29,(34)(35)(36)(37). For example, TIA can reduce the economic leakage of tourist destinations (38), prevent the decline of local tourism (39), and ultimately enhance the regional tourism competitiveness (32). Li and Liu (40) found that TIA could significantly improve the overall efficiency, pure technical efficiency, and scale efficiency of Chinese provincial tourism industry. ...
