How informed are academics and destinations on the climate related issues that we may face in the future? The manner in which the public sector, industry and consumers respond to the challenges associated with climate change will influence investment decisions and may determine the long term sustainability of many destinations. Recently the tourism literature has begun to debate the potential impacts of climate change but many gaps remain. In particular there is a significant gap in our understanding of how tourists will respond and what adaptation strategies the tourism industry may need to adopt. Given the growing demand for tourism activities within the Asia Pacific region there is an urgent need to expand our understanding of these issues. Issues of primary concern include adaptation, community resilience, behavioural tipping points and consumer responses News & Newsfeeds - Latest Thu, 25 Feb 2010 18:30:41 +0100 http://www.tourism-futures.org/content/view/2509/53/ “Stories of the Struggle for Co-Existence: Wildlife and Humans in a Changing World” A photo atlas prepared in association with the Pathways to Success 2010 Conference: Integrating Human Dimensions into Fish and Wildlife Management Monday, September 27, 2010 - Friday, October 1, 2010 YMCA of the Rockies, Estes Park, Colorado, USA Adjacent to Rocky Mountain National Park www.hdfwconference.org (http://www.hdfwconference.org/) A conference and training program designed to address the myriad issues that arise as people and wildlife struggle to coexist in a sustainable and healthy manner.
