  • Contestation Over an Island Imaginary Landscape: the Management and Maintenance of Touristic Nature
    Contestation over an island imaginary landscape: the management and maintenance of touristic nature Article Accepted Version Kothari, U. and Arnall, A.

This runs contrary to the belief that tourism industries are exerting an increasingly benign influence on local environments following the emergence of ‘sustainable tourism’ in recent decades. Rather than preventing further destruction of the ‘natural’ world, or fostering the reproduction of ‘natural’ processes, this article argues that the tourist sector actively seeks to alter and manage local environments so as to ensure their continuing attractiveness to the high-paying tourists that seek out idyllic destinations.

  • A Case-Study of a Beach Resort in the Maldives
    WATER FOOTPRINT OF COASTAL TOURISM FACILITIES IN SMALL ISLAND DEVELOPING STATES: A CASE-STUDY OF A BEACH RESORT IN THE MALDIVES by Miguel Orellana Lazo A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ADVANCED STUDIES IN LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (Landscape Architecture) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) August 2013 © Miguel Orellana Lazo, 2013 Abstract Research on climate change indicates that the risk of water scarcity at many remote tourist destinations will increase in the next few decades. Tourism development puts strong pressure on freshwater resources, the availability of which is especially limited in remote areas. At locations with no access to conventional water sources, tourism facilities require supply alternatives, such as desalinated or imported water, which implies elevated energy demands and carbon emissions. In this context, a shift in the way freshwater use is assessed is crucial for moving toward a more sustainable model of water management for tourism development. This research adapts the Water Footprint framework to the design of tourism facilities and explains how and why this is a promising model for water accounting in isolated locations. Defined as 'an indicator of freshwater resources appropriation', the Water Footprint concept was introduced by Hoekstra in 2002. This methodology goes beyond the conventional direct water use assessment model, upon which most common benchmarking systems in sustainable tourism are based. Measuring the water footprint of a tourism facility allows operators and design teams to understand the environmental and socio-economic impacts associated with its direct and indirect water uses.

Shore & Beach, American Shore & Beach Preservation Assn. Vol. 76, No. 4; pp 17-24. Fall 2008. Island Repair in the Maldives By Kevin R. Bodge, Ph.D., P.E. Vice President, Olsen Associates, Inc. 4438 Herschel Street, Jacksonville, FL 32210 USA [email protected] Steven H. Howard, P.E. Coastal Engineer, Olsen Associates, Inc. 4438 Herschel Street, Jacksonville, FL 32210 USA [email protected] ABSTRACT After substantial expansion and re-shaping of a resort island in the Maldives by dredging, the island’s new shoreline rapidly eroded and nearshore water circulation declined. To address these problems in time for the new resort to open, over 50 different rock structures were designed and constructed to create 19 distinct beaches totaling 4 km in length, and a channel was cut to sever the island and partially restore tidal flow. The authors completed the site studies and designs while living on-island amidst frenetic resort construction during several weeks in the summer of 2004. The works were completed that autumn, and thereafter withstood impact from the December 2004 tsunami. To-date, the project repairs have successfully stabilized the beaches and improved water circulation, per the design predictions. INTRODUCTION In early 2004, one of our firm’s long-time clients was the first to begin developing a large hotel resort on the new “palm shaped” islands being created in Dubai.
