Adventure tourism and local livelihoods

• Does mobile or fixed-site tourism contribute more to local livelihoods?
• Comparing surf charter boats with Dhonveli Resort, Maldives, provides a test.
• The resort contributes 1.9x tax per surf tourist than boats, but similar local jobs.
• Resorts have higher social and environmental impacts than boats.
• This partly contradicts a previous analysis favouring resorts.
