Climate Change and Tourism Assessment and Coping Strategies

In the consideration of climate change and tourism, it is suggested that more emphasis be placed on risk assessment. The vulnerability of tourism to climate change is discussed briefly and the difficulty of generalising across a multitude of locations and activities is stressed. Limitation and adaptation are discussed and the need for both is acknowledged. Case studies of skiing and marinas and recreational boating from the Great Lakes region of North America are presented and a variety of research needs and opportunities is suggested.
