Climate Change and Tourism: Towards a Sustainable Future

Abstract

The aim of this chapter is to present the various and multifaceted effects that climate change has on tourism and investigate the paradox in which (1) the more the tourism industry flourishes, the more it intensifies climate change and (2) the more climate change is intensified, the more the tourism industry goes in decline. The chapter then aims to provide a suggestion for a viable solution that can mitigate the devastating effects of tourism on the environment, and effectively on itself, so that tourism and the environment can both flourish in harmony.
