Product Description
Climate change is one of the major environmental issues facing the world today. As the worlds largest industry tourism both contributes to and will be dramatically affected by climate change. Climate change has been described as a threat greater than terrorism. This book represents the first comprehensive book-level examination of the relationship between tourism and climate change and is of interest not only to students of tourism but to policy makers and the tourism industry who will have to respond to the challenges posed by climate change.
