摘要

This article is a case study about the economic feasibility of a tourist development project on the Havasupai Reservation in Northern Arizona, which borders the Grand Canyon National Park. The central issue addressed is the merits of promoting tourism as a means of economic development for a native population living in or next to a protected area. The case study supports many insights on tourist#x2010;based development prevalent in the literature, particularly the importance of Havasupai control of tourist development. The case study also attests to the complexity of tourism as an economic development strategy, identifying some of the trade#x2010;offs associated with tourism on that Havasupai Reservation. In so doing, the paper discusses the limitations of economic analysis, for many of these trade#x2010;offs cannot be expressed in monetary terms. The major lesson of the case study, however, is that rigorous analytical economic analysis of individual development projects is essential. While economic analyses are severely limited in scope, such analyses can help local people evaluate some of the trade#x2010;offs associated with tourism, and lead to better decisions about the appropriate scale and extent of tourist development.
