Exploring sports event management from a Caribbean, small island developing state perspective, this volume uses the events of the recently held Cricket World Cup 2007 (CWC 2007) as a launching pad for identifying best practices and the way forward. The CWC 2007 was the first time in any sport, a World Cup was staged in nine independent countries. None of the Caribbean territories hosting a match has a population larger than Jamaica's 3.4 million; most have less than a quarter of a million people; economies are small and infrastructure limited. The hosting of this event produced significant lessons that the region and the world can learn from concerning sports event management.

This book examines the dilemma of overdependence on tourism in Caribbean countries and territories, and the need for a resilient path to address the industry’s vulnerability in the face of natural disasters. The chapters in the book question how tourism resilience is understood and practiced in Caribbean small island developing states (SIDS) and the factors that inform, undermine, or indeed redefine the sustainable resilience agenda for these territories.With its overreliance on tourism and vulnerability to climate, the Caribbean region finds itself susceptible and in need of an innovative approach in order to survive economically. Contributors to this volume touch on all three sustainability pillars and spanning across many tourism sector considerations, such as product development, stakeholder management, hotel management, marketing and entrepreneurship. By spanning the geography of the Anglophone and Spanish Caribbean this book offers a smorgasbord of conceptual and applied perspectives to researchers in the area of tourism resilience in SIDS. It also presents strategic considerations to public and private sector practitioners in implementing measures to strengthen the competitive positioning of their destinations as they contend with the dynamism of the external and internal environments.

Unlock the secrets of sustainable Caribbean tourism in Sun Lust to Sun Plus: Niche Tourism in the Caribbean, a comprehensive overview of niche tourism development strategies that are restructuring the paradisiacal destinations of the Caribbean. Discover how the small island developing states (SIDS) of the Caribbean are redefining their approach to tourism, moving from traditional mass tourism, the “Sun Lust” of the past, to a more sustainable and diverse model, the “Sun Plus” of the present and future.Through an exploration of existing and potential tourism niches in the region, Accola Lewis-Cameron and Leslie-Ann Jordan-Miller lead an impressive group of scholars who, through case studies and analyses of various niche tourism products, highlight the unique opportunities and challenges facing SIDS in the Caribbean and provide recommendations for creating a more resilient and sustainable industry. While each chapter in this edited volume offers a unique perspective, they collectively provide a complete understanding of niche tourism’s role in bolstering and sustaining a vibrant and dynamic Caribbean tourism offer. Explore the concept of music tourism in Trinidad and the role of slow food in culinary tourism in the Caribbean. Dive into the challenges and opportunities of cruise tourism in Cozumel and the promise of medical tourism in the Cayman Islands. Uncover the potential of sustainable ecotourism in Dominica as a post-COVID-19 recovery strategy, and uncover the potential of educational tourism in Grenada as a socio-economic force.The final chapters conclude with a clarion call for further tourism diversification away from the Caribbean’s traditional 3S product offering (sun, sea and sand) and for the introduction of a scorecard approach to ensure that the future of tourism in these tropical paradises is robust and sustainable. From a reading of this collection, academics, students and practitioners will gain invaluable insights and best practices that bridge the gap between tourism management theory and its application.
