  Tourist Developers on Koh Samui, Thailand
 
 
Title: Tourist Developers on Koh Samui, Thailand
Author: Williamson, Peter A. T.
Appeared in: Journal of cultural geography
Paging: Volume 12 (1992) nr. 2 pages 53-64
Year: 1992-03
Contents: Foreign investment in the tourist industry is usually thought of as the province of international companies. This study examines investment in tourism by expatriate westerners on Koh Samui, an island in southern Thailand. These small entrepreneurs are shown to be marginal, in many respects, to both Thai society and their own. Nevertheless, they enjoy some local acceptance based upon the interests of those in positions of power. The expatriates must direct their efforts to maintaining the favor of local power and this requirement colors their social interactions and business strategies.
