Abstract

Small island states in the competitive international tourism market - the case of the Seychelles. Small island states are fragile and vulnerable due to a number of aspects like e.g. a lack in mineral resources and high transportation cost. Island economies are often highly dependent on tourism as a source of income. In this article the Seychelles´ natural assets and their tourism development are portrayed. Against the background of a strong worldwide competition it is discussed whether the Seychelles high-value conservation tourism is competitive. Furthermore, measures improving the market situation of the country are depicted. Additionally, strategies for all island states are described, which they can implement in order to compete with other destinations.
