“…However, where publications related to islands that were adjacent to larger land masses within the same state, or where they were overseas territories or dependencies of a larger state, these were included. This is because insular entities within a larger state can still suffer from many of the issues associated with more traditionally peripheral islands (Moscardo, 2011;Chaperon & Bramwell, 2013;Sinclair-Maragh & Gursoy, 2015;Baldacchino, 2019) Only publications written in English were included in this study. After applying these criteria, 132 articles remained for use in this review.…”

“…This theme contained a broad mixture of cases, ranging from responses to climate change and resource depletion through entrepreneurship to the role of community alliances and collaboration in the face of dominant cultures. Given the spatial context of this research, it is surprising to note the lack of publications with this theme, with the notable exceptions of work by Baldacchino (2005Baldacchino ( , 2006Baldacchino ( , 2010Baldacchino ( , 2019 and other associated with the island studies field.…”

“…Because government is often located off-island and can frequently have different priorities and policies to those of the island population, island residents may lack political 'clout' in decision making (Chaperon & Bramwell, 2013). Consequently, islands (and archipelagos, see Baldacchino, 2015) usually experience external economic and political dependency, often in inverse proportion to their size and population, and island affairs that are important to local residents can often be overlooked (Moscardo, 2011;Chaperon & Bramwell, 2013;Sinclair-Maragh & Gursoy, 2015;Baldacchino, 2019).…”

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.

“…The island as a separate entity from the mainland faces many challenges to retain its population and achieve sustainable development. Baldacchino (2019) explores the impact of the physical separation of an island on its developmental fate and concludes that islands farther from the mainland have a more difficult development way, but bigger autonomy, which can be an advantage while islands closer to the mainland are often more influenced by land centers and politics which complicates their possible development [3]. Marinković (2016) emphasizes that a key element of optimal sustainable development of island space is the classification of islands according to socio-geographical determinants, that is, the development requires scientifically based identification, systematization and comprehensive analysis [4].…”

Impact of Traffic Connectivity on Island Development

Today the main problems of the islands are the poor demographic picture caused by depopulation, low birth rate, prevalence of the elderly population, and relatively low economic activities. In that reason, the paper presents the influence of the traffic connections between Croatian's islands and mainland on the demographic picture of the islands. The aim of this paper is to conduct systematic and scientifically research of influence various factors on the demographic picture of the islands in order to insure the sustainable development of the islands and the retention of the inhabitants on the islands. This paper analyzes the population of Croatian's islands according to the latest census and the category is correlated with the most prominent limiting factor of development, which is the traffic connection between islands and mainland. The research shows that the improvement of traffic connection and increased density of traffic network between islands and mainland does not have a direct impact on the number of island's population, but it has a positive impact on all economic and social activities, by creating the prerequisites for sustainable development of the islands and raising the quality of life on islands, as evidenced by the growth of the island's population on bridged islands and drop population in small islands and islands unrelated to bridges. Sažetak Danas su glavni problemi na otocima loša demografska slika uzrokovana depopulacijom, niske stope rođenih, pretežito starija populacija i relativno oskudne ekonomske aktivnosti. U tom smislu članak predstavlja utjecaj prometnih povezanosti među hrvatskima otocima i kopnom te demografsku sliku otoka. Cilj je ovoga članka provesti sustavno i znanstveno istraživanje ujecaja različitih čimbenika na demografsku sliku otoka kako bismo osigurali održivi razvoj otoka i zadržali stanovnike na otocima. Ovaj članak analizira populaciju otokâ prema zadnjem popisu stanovništva i kategoriju povezanu s najistaknutijim ograničavajućim čimbenikom razvoja, to jest prometnu povezanost među otocima i kopnom. Istraživanje pokazuje da poboljšanje prometne povezanosti i povećana gustoća prometne mreže između otoka i kopna nema izravan utjecaj na razinu populacije na otoku, ali ima pozitivan utjecaj na sve ekonomske i društvene aktivnosti, stvaranjem pretpostavki za održivi razvoj otoka i podizanje kvalitete života na otocima, kao što je evidentirano porastom populacije na otocima s mostom i padom populacije na malim otocima i otocima nepovezanih mostom.

This paper analyses factors affecting arrivals of international tourists into countries denoted as Small Island Developing States (SIDS). These destinations are paired to all potential countries of origin for which the data was available in the UNWTO database for at least one year over the studied period 1995-2014. The dynamic panel data regression techniques within the gravity approach scheme are applied to identify the significance and importance of different factors of international tourist arrivals into SIDS. These factors are subsequently compared in terms of their significance and relevance across the three geographic sub-regions of SIDS. The results show that tourism flows into SIDS are highly persistent. They depend on the accessibility of destinations, tourism infrastructure development, political stability, and levels of economic development of destinations as well as countries of origin. Exchange rate, weather, and language and historical (colonial) links also play significant roles. The regional comparison reveals that the significance and importance of these factors among the three subregions vary only modestly.
