The purpose of this article was to observe the relationship between the tourism movement and the economic development of island territories during the global economic crisis (2008-2010). The aim of the paper was also answer the questions: why did some island territories react differently  to the global economic crisis and if the coefficient  of variation is a good  indicator for assessing the changes in tourism movement during crisis events. Countries that have larger tourism expenditures as a proportion of GDP had a weak relationship between changes in tourist arrivals and changes in GDP. The islands prone to the global economic crisis did not have a stronger correlation between changes in tourist arrivals and GDP. The  coefficient  of  variation  was  a  good  measure  to  indicate  the  island  regions that were characterized by major changes in the volume of tourist movements.
