Conclusion; Notes; References; Geographical Index; General IndexThe contribution of tourism to climate change, and the likely consequences of climate change for key tourist destinations, has been well reported and discussed. Yet, there is a lack of evidence-based systematic practical advice as to how the tourism industry should respond to the challenge of climate change. Building on a sound conceptual understanding of the links between climate change and tourism, this book shows how the tourism sector might best respond. It not only focuses on the roles of supportive policies and institutions in ensuring a strong ""enabling environment"" for practical rTourism Environment and DevelopmentClimatic changesEnvironmental policyTourism - Environmental aspectsTourismEnvironmental aspectsClimatic changesEnvironmental policyEarth & Environmental SciencesHILCCGeographyHILCCTravel & TourismHILCCEnvironmental SciencesHILCCElectronic books.Climatic changes.Environmental policy.Tourism - Environmental aspects.TourismEnvironmental aspectsClimatic changesEnvironmental policyEarth & Environmental SciencesGeographyTravel & TourismEnvironmental Sciences363.73874Becken Susanne1974-854146Hay John639332AU-PeELAU-PeELAU-PeELBOOK9910453036303321Tourism and Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation1907311UNINA
