Climate change is one of the major global environmental issues facing the world today. Its potential impacts will be felt throughout the world. As the world's largest industry, tourism both contributes to, and will be dramatically affected by, climate change. This presents an immense challenge for an industry that has sought to present itself to the world as sustainable and supportive of the environment and the economy. Long-haul travel may become increasingly expensive as regulators seek to restrict greenhouse gas emissions and potential harm to the atmosphere. Coastal and alpine regions are starting to reconsider their tourism product in the light of the perceived impacts of climate change, not only in terms of their immediate environment, but also which risks are covered by insurance. Perhaps for the first time the impacts of tourism are not just being considered at the local level, but on a global basis. This book is a must-read for anyone with a long-term mindset about the management of tourism, since it is the first to examine in depth the effects of climate change on this sector and to consider how stakeholders should be responding.
