Assessing
impacts and building resilience: The implications of climate change on tourism
in the Asia Pacific region
Climate Change is an issue that has attracted considerable negative
press recently but is it an issue that will go away? How informed are
academics and destinations on the climate related issues that we may face in

climate change but many gaps remain. In particular there is a significant gap
in our understanding of how tourists will respond and what adaptation
