The character of the economy of tropical islands has continued to change throughout the greater part of modern history, with the economic activities dependent very much on features of the natural environment. However, on islands from all the world's oceans, at different periods and at different paces, an economic transformation has taken place - concerning traditional types of agriculture and fishing, a plantation economy, tourism or the 'new economy'. The most important changes took place under the influence of the development of modern transport and communication, allowing tropical islands to join the global economy. Irrespectively of the degree of tourism maturity of any particular territory, if one compares the intensity of tourist traffic with the affluence of a territory, based on the example of 58 analysed territories, it can be observed that at the end of the 20th century tourism had become an effective way to increase prosperity. Islands owe their 'emergence' from economic margins to tourism. Islands also seek prosperity in other fields, those different from tourism. For most of these economic strategies, the mere fact that their territory emerges is more important. The role of the environmental changes and reductions.

Cuisine is not among the qualities that attract tourists to the islands of the Pacific Ocean. Is it a reasonable approach? The aim of the paper is to discuss the characteristic features of the South Pacific cuisine and examples of their use as a tourist attraction (the Cook Islands, French Polynesia and Fiji). It outlines the traditional diet of islanders based on 19th century descriptions and its traces in the present day cuisine. Despite the interesting original eating habits which have been preserved since the precolonial times, Oceania lags behind as far as embracing opportunities offered by culinary tourism is concerned. This is a significant cultural potential which could foster tourism in the future.
