    Tourism development and public policy: perceptions of the Chuukese community Item Type Thesis Authors Perez, Gerald San Agustin Download date 05/10/2021 09:13:24 Link to Item http://hdl.handle.net/11122/10527 TOURISM DEVELOPMENT AND PUBLIC POLICY: PERCEPTIONS OF THE CHUUKESE COMMUNITY By Gerald San Agustin Perez A Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Rural Tourism Development: Interdisciplinary Program University of Alaska Fairbanks May 2019 APPROVED: Dr. Jungho Baek, Committee Chair Dr. Fred Schumann, Committee Co-Chair Dr. Jennifer Caroll, Committee Member Dr. Ansito Walter, Committee Member Dr. Mark Herrmann, Dean School of Management Dr. Michael Castellini, Dean of the Graduate School Abstract Tourism is a widely used tool for economic development in small insular communities. 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.

    August 28, 2001 «Title» «FirstName» «LastName» «Address 1» «City», «State» «PostalCode» «Salutation» As you are aware, 2001 marks the 1700th Anniversary of Armenia's conversion of Christianity. For 1700 years, Armenians have walked in the light of our Lord, keeping steadfast in their faith despite all obstacles. The record of our people remains a proud milestone in worldwide Christian history. How vital it is, then, that we celebrate it in an appropriate manner. As a part of an extensive program of activities during this year, our Diocese is organizing a series of Armenian choral musical concerts, which will be held in New York and other key American cities with large Armenian populations. I would like to ask you as part of a select group who realizes the importance of such a project to please consider serving as a Sponsor for the New York Concert, scheduled to be held at St. Vartan Cathedral on Friday, October 19,2001, by donating the sum of$1,000. Our 1700th Anniversary Celebration Committee is inviting the Komitas Chamber Choir of Armenia (associated with Yerevan's prestigious Komitas State Conservatory) to tour America during Fall2001. The 25-member chorus will sing under the baton of its dynamic conductor, Professor Hovhannes Mirzoyan. I am confident that this concert tour will be an effective and powerful way to bring our 1700th anniversary celebration-no less than our faith and heritage-to the attention of a much wider audience in this great country. It will also be a wonderful cultural opportunity for our local communities. I look forward to your strong support of this project in New York City.
