| dc.description.abstract | Climate change is considered one of the greatest challenges for humanity in
the 21st century and beyond. Climate sensitive industries including tourism
are vulnerable. In efforts to counter climate change, mitigation and
adaptation are proposed. Mitigation is an important policy response to
climate change however it may not address the immediate risks posed by
climate change but adaptation is Urgent. In practice some tourism
stakeholders are already engaging with either planed adaptation or
autonomous adaptation. However, concerns have been raised on
sustainability of adaptation options and approaches. Considering
sustainable adaptation has received little interest in tourism research and
the fact that tourism is considered behind in many aspects of climate change,
this paper intends to fast forward this important theme in tourism climate
research. I intend to discuss adaptation in the context of sustainability.
Five issues that tourism may face while forging sustainable adaptation are
highlighted including: Heterogeneous actors with differentiated interest;
Competition for resources; Limited research on sustainable-adaptation;
Awareness gap and Lack of commitment among tourism players. | en_US |
