“…Previous academic studies have researched tourism from several perspective layers: on the one hand, as individual islands, like Aruba [13], Barbados [14], Cyprus [15], and Mauritius [16], with most studied SIDS being Mauritius and Aruba; on the other hand, as archipelagos, such as the Azores [17], Canary Islands [18], and Madeira [19]; finally, as regions, like Asia/Pacific, the Caribbean, and Europe [20].…”

This paper is focused on research addressing a large quantity of data extracted from online reviews written by tourists visiting islands. These were extracted from TripAdvisor regarding island tourist destinations since there is a gap in the scientific literature using this approach on island tourism. The Islands of the Sun, Boa Vista and Sal, of Cape Verde, a Small Island Developing State (SIDS), were the targets of this investigation. After applying text mining to a large dataset, results are discussed, including from the perspectives of hotels, restaurants, and tourist attractions. For example, the beach is the main tourist attraction in both islands, but whereas in Boa Vista, tours on quad bikes constitute a major tourist activity, its equivalent in Sal is actually diving. The location of hotels near the beach is a big plus for tourists who also emphasize their human interaction with staff members in both hotels and restaurants.

“…Aligning with the sustainable requirements while communicating sustainability to the stakeholders should be a key topic on the agenda. Park (2011) indicates that tourism plays a significant socio-economic role, especially in the Asian regions that contain various cultures and traditions with attractive tourism assets.…”

This paper aimed to assess the external environment and resource base of the cruise ship tourism sector in the Asia Pacific region Following this, an analytical framework with key themes was developed, with implications for further research focusing on seamlessly connected global market perspectives A desk research approach was used with the PESTEL and RBV-SWOT analyses of current cruise ship tourism focusing on information seeking, information sharing, and co-value creation based on ubiquitous network perspectives.From the study, three recommendations were developed: (1) strategic market expansion in Asia, based on information sharing and analysis; (2) implementation of the ubiquitous customer relationship management; and (3) communicating sustainability and risk management during the current COVID-19 pandemic. It is strongly recommended to engage relevant stakeholders in designing future cruise tourism strategies in line with the global responsibility of sustainable business behavior based on ubiquitous information sharing and seamless decision-making.

“…This was shown by Carboni's (2016) study of entrepreneurship and employment in Zanzibar, where investment and entrepreneurship were mostly undertaken by foreigners, who then employed local people. A related point was made by Park (2011), who highlighted that, for many small islands, cruise tourism is attractive because it allows for tourism development without needing an indigenous tourism industry, although it does then limit tourism entrepreneurship to servicing the needs of this sector and its tourists. Douglas (1997),…”

Entrepreneurship is vital to the success of tourism and hospitality and the sector makes an important contribution to many island economies. Despite this, far too little attention has been paid by researchers to tourism and hospitality entrepreneurship in islands (THEI). This research helps to address this gap through a systematic review of the literature, conducted to provide a platform for further research and to help investigators set their research priorities and thereby advance understanding of this important field. Using the Scopus database and the PRISMA technique, a total of 132 articles were included in bibliometric and thematic content analyses. The review revealed that, although there has been an increase in THEI research, this has tended to focus on the Asia-Pacific region rather than the European and North American contexts. It was also found that, hitherto, the generalizability of much THEI published research is limited. It is therefore suggested that researchers consider redressing this geographical bias and conduct more quantitative and comparative THEI studies. Further opportunities exist for scholars to investigate the characteristics and behaviors of tourism and hospitality island entrepreneurs as well as the impacts of the industrial and spatial aspects of THEI. For professionals working in island economic development and business support, this research identifies many of the challenges and opportunities associated with supporting THEI.
