They can hardly industrialize on a sustainable scale right? Tourism is their only possible lifeblood, along with extractive stuff like mining and fishing and being a tax haven. What viable path is there for them under a communist system?

Research and environmental monitoring stations/bases. Volcanology, meteorology, geology, oceanography, marine life research, deep sea research covers all sorts of things up to and including aerospace tech... if there's no much light pollution then astronomy research stuff in the visible light spectrum but there might be a chance for smaller radio telescopes having some utility.
Oceanic shipping and aquatic research vessels will need stations for refueling, maintenance, search and rescue.
