Resumen
Descripción
In the wake of COVID-19, tourism on
Bonaire is showing signs of rapid and near-complete
recovery. At the same time, the population has continued to
grow significantly. In 2019 and 2020 this growth was driven
primarily by net immigration into Bonaire from other islands
in the Dutch Caribbean, Central and South America, and
European Netherlands. Bonaire’s economy is heavily
concentrated on tourism and, in recent years, has
experienced a steady increase in foreign direct investment
(FDI), mainly in real estate. As in other Caribbean islands,
the tourism-based economy has generated a flourishing real
estate market, and demand after the pandemic has
accelerated. The World Bank, through the European Union
(EU)-funded Disaster Risk Financing Technical Assistance
(DRFTA) for Caribbean Overseas Countries and Territories
(OCTs), will work closely with Bonaire’s government to
assess the island’s carrying capacity in light of the rapid
growth in tourism, population, and real estate development.
Will do this by developing a study assessing the island’s
carrying capacity as a function of its environment, economic
activity, culture, social structure, infrastructure, land
use, and climate resilience. The main objective is to assess
Bonaire’s carrying capacity to develop tourism and manage
development, by providing an analytical tool to determine
growth scenarios and simulate impacts. The study will give
the Executive Council of Bonaire the information and tools
to inform a growth strategy for mobilizing the island’s
institutional, financial, and technical resources.
