This mixed methods study examines factors that influence residents' perceptions toward tourism development in Chuuk and the relevance of “complexity theory” in describing the island's stage of development. Empirical evidence and data triangulation corroborate general support for tourism development and sensitivity to cultural impacts, economic impacts, social impacts, environmental impacts, local control and sustainability. Economic and cultural impacts were the strongest factors influencing perceptions and are most significant to sustainable development and destination development. This reflects residents' beliefs that the island will benefit from tourism because of perceived improvements in the economy, infrastructure, tourist facilities and expanded social amenities. It also reflects residents' expectations for long term planning, managed growth, and laws to protect the environment. Some differences and similarities are noted between sampled residents living in Chuuk and Guam.

  • Hon. Yosiwo P. George Eighth Vice President of the Federated States of Micronesia
    Hon. Yosiwo P. George Eighth Vice President of the Federated States of Micronesia George was born in Kosrae on July 24th, 1941. His rich and varied public and political life started during the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands (TTPI) and has continued through today. His public service experiences began as an Engineer Trainee at the Pohnpei Transportation Authority, later as a classroom teacher in Kolonia Elementary School, and then as the TTPI Social Security manager in Saipan. George later served as Kosrae's Lieutenant Governor for a partial term, when he was appointed by the 1st President of the FSM, Tosiwo Nakayama, as the Director of Department of Social Services with foci on health, education, and community services. After many accomplishments in the Department of Social Services, George was reminded again of his home in Kosrae, and ran for Governor of Kosrae State, where he served two full and consecutive terms. George was then appointed by President Bailey Olter to serve as the Ambassador of the FSM to the United Nations, where he served with distinction for three years. International service on behalf of the FSM inspired George to run for a seat in the Congress of the FSM, and in the 10th Congress he began his service as a Senator for four years. George was later appointed by Governor Rensley Sigrah to serve as the Chief Justice for Kosrae State Court, where he served until 2006 when he was then called upon by President Manny Mori to serve as the Administrator for MiCare. After several years of dedicated service, President Mori appointed George to be the Ambassador of the FSM to the United States, which additional accreditation to the State of Israel.

  • Country Economic Review
    Federated States of Micronesia Proceedings March 28 to April 2, 2004 Palikir, Pohnpei, Federated States of Micronesia FOREWORD To all participants of the 3rd FSM Economic Summit, I wish to thank you for your contributions to a successful Summit. I fully agree with the Floor Leader of the Pohnpei State Legislature, Fernando Scaliem, who said in his closing remarks, “I am confident that the results of this Summit will provide us with a realistic and viable road map for the future growth of our Nation.” I am pleased to see that broad participation was achieved during the Summit, including key contribu- tions from our traditional leaders, church groups, non-governmental and international donor organiza- tions. The spirited discussions during plenary sessions are a clear indication of the level importance our Nation’s representatives brought to this meeting. I wish to thank all of the Summit’s participants for their dedication and hard work. The goals of our Summit were to (a) increase awareness of the Compact, as amended; (b) achieve consensus on an overall economic strategy; and (c) improve the monitoring mechanisms to support economic growth. I’d like to take a moment to address these. As our nation continues on its journey toward economic self-reliance, we clearly face many chal- lenges, not least including the structure of the amended Compact with the annual decrement and par- tial inflation adjustment. The Select Committee formed during the Summit has chosen a high-growth scenario, and the Summit has endorsed this choice as well. This decision for economic growth will require an initial investment in reforms but will ultimately lead to a sustainable economy.

No disrespect was intended for areas that may not have received as much attention as others, nor was the friendship and affection any less. Sometimes the intentions of the Institute were misconstrued due to unfamiliarity with private sector practice, or transportation obstacles were unsolvable; these impacted some programs. In other cases, projects did not receive the necessary funding and could not be carried out. In many cases, pilot programs later were adapted by larger organizations. Often the MI could also serve by enabling others to make gifts through the MI umbrella.
