news FEATURE: Taiwanese island grapples with tourism success 共同通信社 © 共同通信社 Just off of Taiwan s southwest coast lies a seven-square-kilometer coral island. Liuqiu Island, called Little Ryukyu by the Japanese and Lambai Island after a language once spoken by native peoples, is today home to 12,000 residents who until recently made their livings mainly from fishing. In the 1990s, this began to change as fish stocks declined and young islanders increasingly chose not to enter the family business, opting instead for less precarious livelihoods, which usually meant relocating to one of Taiwan s larger urban centers. But some stayed, including entrepreneurial types, who sought to expand the island s economic base by tapping the region s growing tourism market.
