摘要：The environment of small tourism
islands, as climate and coastal
resources, make them favourable
locations for luxury resorts. However,
tourism can cause a threat to these
islands¡¯ local environment. Thus, the
Maldives government has developed
regulations to ensure a balance
between resource protection and
use. This study examines, from the
conceptual framework of sustainable
tourism, whether luxury indicates
sustainability in the Maldives, that
is, if there is a link between luxury
and sustainability. To perform this
analysis we have studied 91 deluxe
and non-deluxe resorts in the
Maldives using content analysis
methodology. Then we have applied
a Principal Components Analysis
to determine whether the resorts
can be grouped according to their
tourist attractions and sustainable
activities. Results show that we
can not affirm that luxury implies
sustainability, but we might
conclude that both are possible.
