Tourism and Climate Change (eBook, ePUB)

Impacts, Adaptation and Mitigation

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This is the first book to provide a comprehensive, thorough overview of the complex interrelationships between tourism and climate change. It achieves this by considering the implications of climate change for tourism sectors and destinations, tourism's global contribution to climate change, adaptation and mitigation responses, and addressing various levels of scale - such as global, national, and regional tourism systems, as well as individual tourism businesses and tourists. It combines a thorough scientific discussion on the climate-tourism interface with practice, showcasing international examples of both adaptation and mitigation responses by the tourism sector as well as other sectors' responses that will have implications for tourism.
