Abstract
[Please note: this is a shortened version of the abstract which is very long.]
This thesis is an examination of the proposition that
tourism development is to a great extent dependent upon the
effectiveness of government tourism policies and government
tourism organisations. Put another way, the greater the
degree of effectiveness of tourism policies and organisations.
the greater the degree of tourist industry
development. Tourism policies and organisations are seen
here as playing functional roles towards the development of
the tourist industry.
There are two basic hypotheses to be tested in the thesis,
namely:
(a) There are causal relations between tourism
organisations and policies, and tourist
industry development.
(b) There are evaluable functions that tourism
policies and organisations play in the
development of the tourist industry.
To test the validity of the above propositions, government
tourism policies and organisations in New Zealand and Fiji
are researched. analysed and evaluated.
