Today, more than ever, communities need to develop resilience
strategies to adapt to the varied and often unpredictable forces of
global change. The focus of this collection of articles from
Tourism Geographies is on global change in tourism places. Global
change incorporates social and economic globalization, which is
arguably the most important process to have shaped the development
of modern tourism since the nineteenth century, and climate change,
which is likely to be the most significant factor influencing human
behavior and livelihood in the coming decades. The organization of
these articles reflects a traditional geography approach, which
starts with an emphasis the physical geography foundations of the
human condition, especially through the issue of climate change.
This is then broadened by a series of insightful comparative
studies of how tourism communities react, adapt and relate to their
changing natural and social conditions. This collection of papers
addresses major issues and adaptive paths for tourism destinations
as they face the challenges of our contemporary world. This bookw
as published as a special issue of Tourism Geographies.
