The Japanese Encounter With The South: Japanese Tourists In Palau special attention to the commoditization of cultural identity of palau in the tourismbrings about the palauan selfconsciousness of their culture, as Michel http://www.hawaii.edu/movingcultures/papers/yamashita.htm
Extractions: Shinji Yamashita, Cultural Anthropology, University of Tokyo I. Aim and Assumptions of Research This research focuses upon the Asian and Pacific "contact zone" (Pratt 1992) in Palau, a small Micronesia republic with a population of 16,000. While this research is particularly concerned with the view through the lens of Japanese tourists, it also examines the general socio-cultural aspects of tourism in Palau from tourist/guest as well as Palauan/host side. In 1996, over 16,000,000 Japanese traveled overseas. This figure is more than three times much of the 1986 figure of only 55,160,000 overseas travelers. This growth can be attributed to the power of the Japanese yen. Of the popular destinations for Japanese overseas tourists, the Pacific has been one of the favorite markets: annually over 2,000,000 tourists visit Hawaii, 1,000,000 visit Guam and 500, 000 visit Saipan. The popular image of the Pacific for many Japanese tourist is that of a "South Sea Paradise" with relaxed atmosphere, beautiful sea, and sky where Japanese middle class tourists can escape their busy lives. Palau is for most of the Japanese tourists such a "sea paradise." In 1995, according to Palau Visitors Authority, 44,850 foreign tourists visited Palau of which the Japanese ranked first (19,987 people or 40%). The tourists from Taiwan (10,653 or 21%) and USA (7,629 or 18%) follow the Japanese in number. Recently, with the introduction of direct flights by Continental and Far East Airlines between Palau and Taiwan, Taiwanese tourism has increased rapidly to the extent that in 1996, Taiwanese tourists outnumbered the Japanese (Tia Belau, Vol. V No, 32, Dec. 14-Dec. 21, 1996).

Palau Title: [Pacific adventures (Television program) Palau Notes: Recorded off-air from the Mar. 14, 1997 telecast of the program Pacific adventures, with permission of KITV, Honolulu. The Republic of Palau is part of Micronesia and consists of beautiful yet largely uninhabited limestone islands. These rock islands are Palau's signature feature, and each set of islands is different. We explore the sea caves of one group of islands as well as great diving destinations. Overfishing and depletion of ocean resources, such as the giant clam, are problematic, as is the migration of people from their traditional villages and way of life to the city, where jobs can be found. Palau is caught between two cultures, but some villagers are fighting to maintain their subsistence economy. We also explore a lake found in one of the islands that is home to millions of "stingless" jellyfish.

Extractions: Political Structure Culture The democratically elected National Government of the Republic of Palau is modeled upon that of the United States and has three separate branches of government: the Executive, the Legislative, and the Judicial. The Executive Branch is headed by the President, who is elected for not more than two consecutive four-year terms and who is assisted by a cabinet comprised of eight ministers. The eight ministries are Administration, Commerce & Trade, Community & Cultural Affairs, Education, Health, Justice, Resources & Development, and State. In addition, Article VIII, § 6 of the Constitution of the Republic of Palau provides, in pertinent part, that a "Council of Chiefs composed of traditional chief from each of the states shall advise the President on matters concerning traditional laws, customs and their relationship to this Constitution and the laws of Palau. No person shall be a member of the Council of Chiefs unless he has been appointed and accepted as a chief in the traditional manner, and is recognized as such by the traditional council of chiefs of his state." The Legislative Branch is known as the Olbiil Era Kelulau ("OEK"), a traditionally Palauan term meaning "house of whispers." The OEK is a bicameral legislature comprised of 9 Senators and 16 Delegates. The Senators are elected to a term of four years on the basis of population and traditional regional political groupings, whereas the Delegates are elected from each of the 16 states. Delegates have the same four year term of office as Senators, but lack the advice and consent authority over Presidential appointments constitutionally reserved for the Senate.

Extractions: by William K. Piotrowski These days Connecticut is stony ground for Protestant revivalism. Its population is two-thirds Roman Catholic and its largest Protestant denomination, the United Church of Christ, has been lukewarm about revivals for 100 years. So it was not very surprising that when the Argentine revivalist Luis Palau, whom The Wall Street Journal has called Luis Palau "the Billy Graham of everywhere," and who, through his Luis Palau Evangelistic Association, is estimated to have preached in nearly 70 countries to more than 14 million people," showed up in May for a statewide campaign, the Connecticut news media were pretty lukewarm themselves. Newspapers from New London to Danbury dutifully reported the extent of local involvement in the campaign and what Palau had to say when he came to town

A Compact of Free Association with the US was approved in 1986, but not ratified until 1993. It entered into force the following year when the islands gained their independence.
