“…Researchers also pointed out that less than half of the existing ski resorts would be sustained within a few decades in Switzerland [25]. Also, a number of studies addressed the critical impacts of climate change on beach/island tourism destinations [28,31,32].…”

Tourists’ Environmentally Responsible Behavior in Response to Climate Change and Tourist Experiences in Nature-Based Tourism

2016

Nature-based tourism destinations-locations in which economic viability and environmental responsibility are sought-are sensitive to climate change and its effects on important environmental components of the tourism areas. To meet the dual roles, it is important for destination marketers and resources managers to provide quality experiences for tourists and to induce tourists' environmentally responsible behavior in such destinations. This study documents the importance of perceptions toward climate change and tourist experiences in determining tourists' environmentally responsible behavior while enjoying holidays at nature-based tourism destinations in Jeju Island, South Korea. Two hundred and eleven Korean and 204 Chinese tourists marked dominant tourist arrivals to the island, and responded to the survey questionnaire. Results showed that perceptions toward climate change and tourist experiences affect Korean tourists' environmentally responsible behavior intentions, whereas tourist experiences-not perceptions toward climate change-only significantly affect Chinese tourists' behavior intention. In a nature-based tourism context under the pressure of climate change and adverse environmental effects as consequences of tourism activities, resources managers and destination marketers need to develop environmental campaigns or informative tourist programs to formulate environmentally responsible behavior as well as to increase tourist quality experiences among domestic and international tourists.

RESUMENDesde el punto de vista del sector turístico, el conocimiento científico de las alteraciones producidas en el clima y de los impactos sectoriales derivados se configura como un aspecto clave para el desarrollo de las políticas de adaptación y mitigación del cambio climático. Sin embargo, todo ello resulta insuficiente si no va acompañado del conocimiento de las actitudes públicas, creencias y percepciones del riesgo que muestran los diferentes actores interesados. Apoyándose en una metodología mixta que incluye el enfoque cuantitativo y el cualitativo, este artículo explora la percepción del riesgo asociado al cambio climático que presentan actores clave del turismo rural. La aproximación planteada ha permitido conocer cómo se perciben los impactos del cambio climático, sus posibles repercusiones en los negocios de turismo rural y las respuestas locales de adaptación desarrolladas hasta el momento. La investigación también ha permitido detectar barreras subjetivas a las acciones de adaptación que podrían dificultar la lucha frente al fenómeno. Desde el punto de vista geográfico, la investigación se acota al Alt Empordà, una comarca catalana situada en el extremo nororiental de la conocida marca turística Costa Brava.Palabras clave: turismo rural, cambio climático, percepción del riesgo, impactos, adaptación.Recibido: 9 de septiembre de 2015 Devuelto para su revisión: 5 de febrero de 2016 Aceptado: 17 de marzo de 2016

“…The scientific literature contains many references to tourists, their preferences and their behaviour, including changes in tourist flows and seasonality (Braun et al 1999;Maddison 2001;Lise and Tol 2002;Wietze and Tol 2002;Lohmann 2003;Hamilton et al 2005;Gössling and Hall 2006;Bigano et al 2006bBigano et al , 2008Hamilton and Tol 2007;Moreno and Amelung 2009;Buzinde et al 2010;Hall 2010;Perch-Nielsen et al 2010;Denstadli et al 2011;Rosselló-Nadal et al 2011;Gössling et al 2012). One of the major questions these studies raise is whether mass tourism of the type seen today at the Mediterranean Sea coast will shift to destinations in northern Europe, such as the North Sea region.…”

“…Figure 17.2 shows the recent increase in publications on the impact of climate change on coastal tourism. Some of these studies address the response of tourists and tour operators to beach erosion and the tourist's concern about aesthetic appearance (Moreno and Becken 2009;Buzinde et al 2010), while others examine the vulnerability of coastal tourism infrastructure to sea-level rise (Phillips and Jones 2006;Bigano et al 2008;Schleupner 2008).…”

North Sea Region Climate Change Assessment

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Tourism is one of the most highly climate-sensitive economic sectors. Most of its main sub-sectors, including sun-and-beach tourism and nature-based tourism, play a major role in the North Sea region and are especially weather-und climate-dependent. On top of that, most tourist activities in the North Sea region occur in the coastal zones which are highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. Climate acts as both a 'push' and 'pull' factor in tourism. Climate-driven changes in tourism demand are hard to determine because the tourist decision-making process is also influenced by factors other than climate. Nevertheless, summer tourism in the North Sea region is expected to benefit from rising temperatures (air and water), decreasing precipitation and longer seasons. Destinations can reduce the negative impacts of climate change on tourism by adapting to the changes. The tourist industry also contributes to climate change. Not only is the tourist industry affected by climate change, it also contributes to climate change itself. Therefore, mitigating the climate effects of tourism is largely the responsibility of politicians, the tourism industry and tourism supply. Despite some negative impacts, the overall consequences of climate change for tourism in the North Sea region are expected to be positive.
