• Dr Mark Hampton, Director of CENTICA (Centre for Tourism in Islands & Coastal Areas) has recently been awarded a fieldwork grant by the British Academy (ASEASUK Research Committee on South-East Asian Studies) for his project ‘Resilience or vulnerability? Local island community responses to environmental change and tourism.’ This grant allows fieldwork in tourism-reliant islands in Indonesia as part of a longitudinal study of tourism impacts, particularly local environmental issues, which are of critical importance for small islands.
