Title
Linking Development, Indigenous Entrepreneurship and Tourism, 
with Special Reference to Barbados.

Abstract
Tourism had developed as the leading economic sector of many 
developing peripheral regions.  The economic/development 
benefits that are derived from this economic activity are 
not typically widely realized in these regions.  Indeed, the 
structure/organization of Third World tourism, based largely 
on a core-periphery dependency, tends to render tourism a very 
questionable development strategy as substantial portions of 
the economic benefits remain in the metropolitan core or are 
often repatriated.  It is commonly acknowledged that 
entrepreneurship is a key element in the development process. 
Greater substantive indigenous entrepreneurship in the tourism 
industry is likely to bring about more widely dispersed economic 
benefits, as well as other development benefits such as greater 
self-reliance, self-confidence, and an increased sense of well-being.
