This book argues for a broader approach to sustainable growth in Small Island Developing States (SIDS) by looking beyond the Blue Economy of tourism and fisheries and providing a model of how creative industries, innovation networks, creative clusters, and digital transformation can give SIDS the foundation for a strong sustainable future. It offers insights into how these emerging digital-creative sectors can drive developing economies and provides actionable tools for policy makers, entrepreneurs, and academics to deliver increased performance on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

Small Island Developing States (SIDS) face significant and growing threats from climate change, increasing political and social volatility, and rapidly evolving global trends in technology and tourism. To address these challenges, this book proposes a broader approach to sustainable growth. It looks beyond the traditional Blue Economy of tourism and fisheries and presents a model that incorporates creative industries, innovation networks, creative clusters, and digital transformation.

Based on ten years of research, the book offers insights into how these emerging digital-creative sectors can drive developing economies and provide actionable tools for policy makers, entrepreneurs, and academics to achieve increased performance on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It also highlights the potential for growth and sustainability in SIDS.

The book will be of great interest to scholars and practitioners of economic geography, sustainable development, development studies, and the creative industries. It provides a comprehensive understanding of the opportunities and challenges faced by SIDS and offers practical solutions for building a strong and sustainable future.
