Abstract

Tourism has become a major economic contributor to island nations. Yet the main question is why has some island nations progressed successfully in tourism development while others are still gradually developing? A comparative analysis between Fiji and Papua New Guinea tourism development reveals how Fiji is capitalizing on tourism in the Pacific region. The comparison focuses on the tourism resources, demand and supply and policy implementation in the two respective countries. The diversity in Fiji s tourism investment opportunities, advertisement and policy implementation are some of the success factor behind its development. Lessons leant from Fiji can be used to guide others pacific island nations including Papua New Guinea on its road to invest and develop tourism.
