\u201cThe theme of this Annual Report, as well as the 2019 21st Century Maritime Silk Road Islands Economic Cooperation Forum, was to examine the role of international tourism and intermediary or producer services more generally for the sustainable development of islands. Given that Hainan is striving to become a centre for tourism and services with a global reach, this is a critically important local issue. Even with the recent concerns about health and travel, it is anticipated that international tourism and services will continue to be among the fastest-growing economic sectors, and will be especially important for islands. The significance of tourism and services is not just economic; there are also cultural, environmental, and political dimensions that are addressed in this edited collection with contributions
by some of the leading Island Studies researchers.\u201d<\/p>JAMES RANDALL, EXECUTIVE EDITOR-IN-CHIEF<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
