| The
interrelationship between climate change and tourism is a relatively
new field of research, with the first publications appearing in the
1980s. Since then, a large number of articles on this 'hot' topic
have been published. With this development in mind, the present meta-study
aims at exploring the most up-to-date issues in the cross-cutting
research field of climate change and tourism by evaluating 38 articles
from 2006 and 2007. The content of the articles is structured into
four categories. |
|
- Tourism impacts
on climate change.
- Impacts of
climate change on tourism.
- Trends and
possibilities for the adaptation to climate change.
- Trends and
possibilities for the mitigation of the tourism sector's emissions.
Key results
are the identification of a missing balance between the analysis
of destinations in developed and developing economies, and a lack
of detailed studies which could support governments and other tourism
stakeholders to make the 'right' decisions regarding the implementation
of effective adaptation and mitigation measures.
