Abstract

AbstractThis chapter argues that cruise tourism, as it is developing in the Eastern Caribbean, is creating an ever-wider chasm between the tourist and the islander and contributing to misperceptions and disappointments on the part of both hosts and guests. The cruise tourism product, as it is designed by cruise companies and island governments, provides tourists with an impoverished experience and leaves island people disempowered in their own places and underpaid for the wear and tear on their societies and psyches that tourism brings.
