I will pay for the following article Relationship between Tourism Policy and Development in Kiribati. The work is to be 7 pages with three to five sources, with in-text citations and a reference page. Tourist-based economies have come to acknowledge that it is important to come up with tourism policies, which support harnessing maximum returns from the practice. In this discussion text, the relationship between tourism policies, and how they relate to economic development will be highlighted using the Kiribati Republic as the case study.

Kiribati is made up of groups of islands that include the Line, Phoenix, Banaba, and Gilbert islands in the central pacific and which flow along the equator. The twenty-one constituent islands and atolls collectively add up to eight hundred and eleven (811) square kilometers of land lying in a total area of three-point five (3.5) square kilometers (Kiribati 2014, n.p.). Tarawa is the capital center and acts as the main transportation and commercial point of the state. The average population is slightly above one-hundred thousand and consists of English and Kiribati-speaking peoples (Rural Poverty Portal 2014, n.p.).

There are several factors that contribute to Kiribati’s dependence on tourism as an economic activity. One, it has poor soils that together with the poor rainfall patterns sideline agriculture as a major economic activity. However, considering its geography, Kiribati’s placement on a tropical climate on the Pacific supports some form of tourism. that is ocean-dependant tourism. Commercial fishing is open and widespread throughout the Pacific state, which includes the tourist-favorite fishing spots. In addition to these, the government of Kiribati licenses foreign fishing fleets (the University of Hawaii n.d., p. 2).

According to Milne (1991, p. 56), the desire to further boost the status of tourism in the state developed from various economic problems that hinder the country from achieving maximal returns. The Kiribati tourist industry is considered to be in its infancy and still has a long way to cover before it can be independent on its own.
