Teaching Interests
Tourism, urban and economic geographies.
Research Interests
Impacts (environmental, economic and social and political and relational) following the creation of tourism destinations. Issues that surround the sustainable development of tourism destinations. French Pacific (Tahiti and its Islands, New Caledonia, Wallis and Futuna) tourism issues. My research interests lie in analysing the geographic context within which tourism destinations are developed. Certain destinations I have found fascinating because of their particular contexts: why would an American entertainment company believe that its product could succeed in a foreign environment and why would it be helped by that country's government? The project seemed to be an abysmal failure 20 months after its opening but its owners could not afford to shut it down. What was really happening? That question led to some of the articles I have published and to others that are still gestating. Another resort, which has been financially successful, has had to deal with a public relations hassle and with protracted litigation from surrounding townships. Foxwoods Casino Resort's contextual relations are very different from those of Disneyland Paris but have been just as fascinating to study. In the case of Foxwoods (located in Connecticut), two cultural groups have diverging perspectives that have proven more difficult to reconcile than in the case of Disneyland Paris.

    French Polynesia DESCRIPTION: French Polynesia is a French overseas territory located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. It is made up of several groups of islands, the largest and most populated of which is Tahiti. French Polynesia has a moderately developed economy, which is dependent on imported goods, tourism and the financial assistance of mainland France. Tourist facilities are well developed and are available on the major islands. ENTRY REQUIREMENTS: A passport valid for six months beyond duration of stay is required. Visas are not required for stays up to one month. Extensions for up to three months may be granted locally by applying to the Haut Commissionaire (The French High Commissioner). For further information about entry requirements, travelers, particularly those planning to enter by sea, may contact the French Embassy at 4101 Reservoir Road, N.W, Washington, D.C. 20007, telephone (202) 944-6200, fax 202-944-6212, or visit the Embassy of France’s web sites at http://www.info-france-usa.org CRIME INFORMATION: French Polynesia has one of the lowest crime rates within France and its territories.

Tuamotu Archipelago comprises 80 coral atolls, located 298km (185 miles) east of Tahiti. The Marquesas Islands lie 1497km (930 miles) northeast of Tahiti and are made up of two clusters of volcanic islands divided into a southern and northern group. The grass-covered Austral Islands south of Tahiti are scattered in a chain from east to west over a distance of 499km (310 miles).
