Study Notes
Climate Change and Tourism
Carbon Footprint
- Definition: The total amount of greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) produced directly and indirectly by tourism activities.
-
Sources of emissions:
- Transportation (air travel, car rentals)
- Accommodation (energy consumption in hotels, resorts)
- Activities (ski lifts, boat tours)
- Food and beverage production and transportation
-
Impact: Contributes to climate change, which affects tourism destinations and infrastructure, leading to:
- Rising sea levels and coastal erosion
- Increased frequency and severity of natural disasters
- Changes in weather patterns and seasons
Disaster Risk Management
- Definition: The process of identifying, assessing, and mitigating the impact of disasters on tourism destinations and infrastructure.
-
Types of disasters:
- Natural (hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis)
- Climate-related (droughts, wildfires, floods)
- Human-induced (terrorism, pandemics)
-
Strategies for disaster risk management:
- Risk assessment: Identify vulnerable areas and potential disaster scenarios
- Mitigation: Implement measures to reduce risk (e.g., sea walls, early warning systems)
- Preparedness: Develop emergency response plans and conduct regular drills
- Response: Efficiently respond to disasters, ensuring visitor safety and minimizing damage
- Recovery: Implement rebuilding and restoration strategies to restore tourism infrastructure and services
