Climate Change and Tourism: Responding to Global Challenges

This publication notes the vulnerability of the sector to climate change and the impacts of tourism on climate itself. It provides an excellent basis to address the global phenomenon of climate change, as well as to develop practical tools that can be used by tourism policy-makers and managers to foster the sustainable growth of the industry. The impacts and opportunities pertinent to the tourism sector are also underlined in the 2007 reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and the Global Environment Outlook.
