Climate change is one of the biggest challenges facing the future of tourism. Tourism is both contributing to and being impacted by the changing climate. Extreme events like storms, floods and heatwaves are happening more often and with greater intensity, risking tourist and resident safety, damaging infrastructure and natural attractions, disrupting travel and changing visitor patterns.
By taking climate action, tourism organisations can be part of the solution, helping to raise the quality of life for residents, enhancing resilience and conserving destination assets.
