Online resources: Summary: Providing a thorough examination of the threats posed to destinations by tourism, this comprehensive text discusses how popular and fragile destinations such as the Great Barrier Reef could become severely damaged and forced to close to tourists if current tourism trends continue. The consequences of tourism growth, predicted changes, and management and policy responses are reviewed. The book will explore tourism in the context of climate change and vulnerable environments, exploring the situation at local level and in a wider perspective using international case studies throughout and providing future recommendations. It is suitable for researchers, policymakers and students in tourism, ecotourism, environmental conservation, planning, coastal management and engineering, climate change and marine conservation.Summary: Intro -- Contents -- Contributors -- About the Authors -- Preface -- Foreword -- Acknowledgements -- 1 Introduction - Disappearing Destinations: Current Issues, Challenges and Polemics -- 2 Climate Change and its Impacts on Tourism: Regional Assessments, Knowledge Gaps and Issues -- 3 Managing the Coastal Zone: Learning from Experience? -- 4 Definitions and Typologies of Coastal Tourism Beach Destinations -- 5 Climate Change: Risk Management Issues and Challenges -- 6 Climate Change - Law, Environment and Tourism -- 7 Climate Change, Tourism and the Media: Developing a Research Agenda -- 8 Climate Change and the Mediterranean Southern Coasts -- 9 Climate Change and Coastal Tourism in the Azores Archipelago -- 10 Climate Change and Coastal Tourism in Ireland -- 11 Climate Change - Coral Reefs and Dive Tourism in South-east Asia -- 12 Tourism and Climate Impact on the North American Eastern Seaboard -- 13 Would You Like Ice With That?
