An Integrated Look at Sustainable Development in Kadavu Province, Fiji
Abstract
The profitability of going "green" is growing and the Fiji tourism industry refuses
to be left behind. Two recent plans (the Kadavu Strategic Development Plan and the
Fiji Tourism Development Plan 2007-2016) highlighted concerns regarding sustainable
growth and development in Kadavu province, Fiji. These concerns were used to create
a key performance indicator matrix addressing economic, social, and environmental
implications of sustainable tourism. Available data, including Geospatial Information
Systems, were gathered from the Fijian Ministries and other agencies. In addition,
a village and an accommodation operator survey were used to further answer questions
outlined in the matrix. This report promotes four recommendations including improving
water quality monitoring, enforcing Fiji's sustainability objectives, creating a "green"
labeling certification process, and applying user fees to fund environmental protection
and monitoring.
