Another important aspect of socially and economically sustainable tourism requires the development of locally owned and managed facilities that provide travelers with a more authentic experience. Unlike the high-rise developments created by international corporations, these smaller lodges can provide more personal attention to their guests and create individualized experiences. These accommodations foster easy assimilation into the community and unique activities that can effectively compliment local culture (Wilkinson 170). Known as pensions, small bed-and-breakfast resorts are cheaper and offer charming ocean-side bungalows often equivalent to those found at high-end resorts. Acknowledging the importance of a locally dominated industry, local governments offer financial aid to pension owners to help them compete with large hotels (Fakarava City Hall). Additionally, with fewer units to support, research has shown that these businesses use fewer imports and more island resources (Milne 205).
