Tourist “paradises” come at a steep price paid by native islanders and local ecosystems.
The horrible fires of Maui have left communities devastated but not defeated. As local communities and Native Hawaiians begin to rebuild, concerns about the effects of tourist economies remain. Islanders across the world, like my home in the Caribbean, share these concerns as they face ecological degradation and climate disaster because of a tourist-centered economy. To consider economies outside the confines of tourism, a decolonial lens is imperative.
