Climate Change and Coastal Tourism includes case studies on climate change and coastal tourism that explore current threats to and consequences of climate change on existing tourism coastal destinations. It assesses management and policy options for the future sustainability of threatened tourism coastal destinations. The cases discussed are from all regions of the world: Europe, The Americas, Asia, Africa, and Australasia. The book synthesizes findings to make recommendations that can be used to promote strategies that ameliorate projected impacts of climate change on coastal tourism infrastructure and in turn promote the future sustainability of coastal tourism destinations.
