✦ Synopsis

The small Pacific microstate of Nauru faces an uncertain future as the phosphate deposits on which it has depended for its wealth for most of the twentieth century become exhausted. Recent global conferences on sustainable development have encouraged small island states faced with the impending loss of their principal economic support to consider tourism as a feasible development option. This paper reviews the capacity of Nauru to engage seriously in the option of tourism development.
