“…Hall (1990) and Wood (2000) studied the cruise industry's globalisation, "using" the Caribbean as the most appropriate area (because it is the primary locus for cruise) to understand the changes within the industry. Logossah (2007) and Wilkinson (1999) examine the issue from a completely different angle. In the context of globalised tourism they focus on the impact of cruise tourism on the region's economy and on the communities living at the destinations.…”

Dentro de una zona tan competitiva como la del Caribe, el impresionante progreso del turismo de crucero otorga a Dominica un aspecto simbólico de éxito para el desarrollo de dicha actividad. Este artículo adopta un enfoque sistémico y demuestra que tres protagonistas concentran más de 70% de los beneficios financieros de la actividad crucerista : las agencias de viajes, el comercio del recuerdo y las compañías cruceristas. La escasa dispersión del número de beneficiarios es concomitante con la concentracion espacial de la actividad, como con la falta de beneficiarios macro económicos del sector crucerista en Dominica. Este análisis consagrado a Dominica sugiere un modelo del sector crucerista fuertemente concentrado que se apoya en cuatro pilares : los tours organizados como principal recurso para descubrir la isla, la fuente de recetas para las compañias cruceristas, cuyos contratantes (las agencias locales) son los primeros canales del impacto económico de esta actividad concentrada tanto a nivel geografico como financiero, generando un escaso impacto macroeconómico.

Tourism is not apolitical. The development of this field has diverse, complex, and contradictory economic, political, social, cultural, and environmental impacts. The revenues derived from international tourism continue to break records: 1.035 billion people traveled for leisure in 2012. Thus, tourism has become a mass practice. The history of international tourism in the last 50 years can be divided into three stages: (1) the period of 1950-1980, which were characterized by a gradual democratization of tourism supported by sustained economic growth; (2) the 1990s, which were marked by an euphoric tourist market that pushed for increasing access across the globe for international tourism; and (3) the years following 2001, which are marked by maturity in the field of tourism. The ecstatic vision of a world without borders was met with harsh reality after the tragic events of September 11, 2001, leading to increased awareness of the complexities for tourism in a world fraught with conflict. Selective diffusion of global tourist flows is the current economic and political logic driving the tourism industry and translates into sophisticated business relations. The climates of insecurity that affect some fragile tourist destinations in the periphery are more sensitive to the expansions and contractions of international tourist markets.
