In spite of this, often in these island tourism education is neglected in the wider national development plan. This paper presents the key education findings from a broader study on tourism education and local employment as contributors to the sustainable development of the SIDS case of the Maldives. The research finding showed that tourism education was a crucial factor for employability, yet the same time, tourism education does not meet local employment needs.
