• W76603511 abstract "Trends world-wide in tourism provide considerable encouragement for pro-actively developing tourism in East Timor. Conservative extrapolation of South East Asia data suggests a vibrant tourism sector could develop in ten years, attracting 100 000 visitors and expenditures in excess of US$34million, potentially influencing development in all industry sectors and altering socio-demographic profiles. Despite tourism being clearly on the East Timorese sustainable development agenda, little has been done to facilitate and support the development of tourism enterprises. While a laissez fare approach to tourism may achieve economic success it will likely be at the expense of the environment and Maubere cultural aspirations. Recent policy development initiatives for tourism are outlined, identifying the strong emphasis given to tourism planning to ensure: • the effective and efficient development of tourism product and related support services, and • economic, social and environmental goals are achieved sustainably. The paper calls for proactive, community-based planning and strategic small-scale developments that reflect the tourism vision repeatedly expressed by the East Timorese leadership. Introduction World tourism growth Tourism is possibly the most remarkable socio-economic phenomenon of the 20 century and growth continues to be on the increase, within recognised tourist destinations and as new countries enter the market. For those involved with tourism, the statistics are exciting, for others they appear to be incredible. The World Tourism Organization (WTO 2000) reports 664 million tourists travelling in 1999, generating a staggering US$455billion in receipts, excluding travel fares (US$93billion) and multiplier effects (variously determined as being a multiplier from 1.5 to greater than 2). Over the last 50 years, despite some ‘ups and downs’, tourism has maintained an average growth rate of 7% per year. In 1950, only 15 countries enjoyed the economic benefits of tourism. Today, more than 70 countries receive over one million international tourist arrivals (WTO 2000). While Europe and North America remain the main beneficiaries of tourism (78% of arrivals), East Asia and the Pacific are gaining rapidly, having secured 15% of market share in 1999. Despite the effects of the ‘Asian Economic Crisis’, natural catastrophes and localised civil unrest (e.g. Indonesia), in 1999 the Asia Pacific region experienced a growth rate of 11% and more than 92 million international tourists. Malaysia (43%), Cambodia (29%) and Vietnam (17%) all exceeded the average, while Japan (8%), New Zealand (8%) and Australia (7%) simply matched the international average (WTO 2000). It is perhaps important to note that there is a tendency for the ‘developed’ countries not to record the large percentage increases, especially in the context of the apparent interest in eco and cultural tourism. However, of the East Asia Pacific countries only China, Hong Kong SAR and Australia make the top 15 tourism earners (WTO 2000). These data strongly suggest that the tourism future for developing nations of South East Asia is bright. There appears room for new destinations to enter the market and as well as increase receipts per tourist arrival. That is, there is latent or growth capacity to increase both numbers and financial receipts from tourism investment. The WTO (2000) forecasts the more developed nations of East Asia will grow at a rate of 7% while the developing nations will maintain more modest growth rates of between 3 and 5%." @default.
