“…Caribbean SIDS recorded 44 million of international tourists in 2019, that represents 43% of the total tourism market share in SIDS (UNWTO, 2020). Despite some climate drivers such as warming oceans and rising seas exacerbate tropical cyclone hazards are even making tourism being a volatile catalyst of well-being (Nurse et al , 2018), tourism still generates over 30% of total exports in a significative number of SIDS, reaching as much as 80% in some of these territories (UNWTO, 2020). Several works address tourism and well-being in SIDS regarding the common vulnerabilities of these territories between the Caribbean and other regions.…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to contrast the capacity of tourism-specialized and non-tourism-specialized systems in small developing insular societies to achieve a well-being model aligned with the Agenda 2030. Design/methodology/approach The empirical method of this work consists of a panel-corrected standard errors analysis for a total of seven Caribbean Small Island Developing States (SIDS) to measure the contribution of both economic diversification and tourism specialization to well-being in the Agenda 2030 framework. Time period considered in the analysis include 2005–2019. Findings Linear and nonlinear relationships reveal the need to conjugate both tourism specialization and economic diversification in the 2030-development agendas of small developing insular societies as both represent a means to achieve a well-being model aligned with the Agenda 2030. Originality/value One of the main novelties of this work is that development is analyzed from a multidimensional point of view (standard of living, access to education and health services), as an integrated thinking that considers any tourism development model that defines a route with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Agenda 2030 as main destination in SIDS. Specifically, practical implications are given combining recommendations to foster development and face poverty (SDG-1), while inequalities situations are reduced (SDG-10) and decent jobs are generated (SDG-8). These implications also focus on strengthening local suppliers of goods and services from other sectors to be integrated into the destination value chain (SDG-2), ensuring access to education (SDG-4) and contributing to gender equality (SDG-5).
