Abstract: •Does mobile or fixed-site tourism contribute more to local livelihoods?•Comparing surf charter boats with Dhonveli Resort, Maldives, provides a test.•The resort contributes 1.9x tax per surf tourist than boats, but similar local jobs.•Resorts have higher social and environmental impacts than boats.•This partly contradicts a previous analysis favouring resorts.
