Book excerpt: The Caribbean is the most tourism-dependent region in the world, and its tourism attractions and infrastructure and three-quarters of its people are concentrated along its coastlines. While the Caribbean contributes to less than 1 percent of global carbon emissions, its beaches and hotels are among the most vulnerable to climate impacts, including increasingly fierce and frequent hurricanes, sea-level rise, and loss of coral and mangroves. This book details many techniques for mitigating and adapting to climate impacts and demonstrates how socially and environmentally responsible companies are proving resilient in coping with climate change.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This handbook was conceived as a practical tool to be used by decision-makers and practitioners in both tourism sector and ICZM (Integrated Coastal Zone Management). It provides a kind of "two-way" scheme allowing for the integration of tourism strategic planning into the wider process of ICZM on one hand and, on the other, for the application of the ICZM approach in tourism development. The handbook has two main parts. Its main body tackles all important issues related to coastal tourism and its positive and negative impacts on natural environment and society, as well as various planning and management schemes for tourism, with particular reference to ICZM. Individual steps of the proposed process of strategic planning for coastal tourism, based on the concept of Carrying Capacity Assessment (CCA), are presented in an Annex with all the details indicating when, how and by whom to undertake these steps."--P. [4] of cover.

Book Synopsis Nordic Coastal Tourism by : Christian Dragin-Jensen
Download or read book Nordic Coastal Tourism written by Christian Dragin-Jensen and published by Springer. This book was released on 2024-12-11 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores sustainable tourism development and examines the development strategies of different coastal regions in the Nordic region. In recent decades, tourism research has been topical among researchers in the Nordic region and in international tourism literature. Especially important in this is research on coastal tourism, which is both a linear and area-based activity. An increased interest in coastal tourism has been determined by the fact that around 40 percent of the world's population lives on the coast or within the coastal zone, and these communities are dependent on coastal tourism besides their other professions, such as fisheries, agriculture, and commercial port activities. Nordic coasts combine a rich maritime heritage and tradition with an unrivalled diversity of landscapes and natural refuges. Its oceans and seas are known for their biological richness and great beauty. Coastal and maritime tourism constitutes one of the Nordic countries' most important touristic thematic sub-sectors. With further perspectives for growth in the coming years, coastal and maritime tourism's full potential is yet to be unveiled. Guaranteeing the conditions for sustainable coastal and maritime tourism development may significantly contribute to Nordic's economic growth and employment. It can also support the sustainable development of the more remote coastal regions, bringing the Nordics closer together and endowing coastal communities with sustainable solutions for the future.

Book Synopsis Coastal Tourism, Environment, and Sustainble Local Development by : Ligia Noronha
Download or read book Coastal Tourism, Environment, and Sustainble Local Development written by Ligia Noronha and published by The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI). This book was released on 2003 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coastal tourism, environment, and sustainable local development explores the interface between social and environmental issues relating to coastal tourism. That coastal tourism is highly dependent on nature is not sufficiently understood. This results in an emphasis on promoting tourism without attention to the supporting systems and a classic 'golden goose' problem can ensue. The societal implications of this phenomenon can be serious as tourism can push out other prevalent activities, result in changed skills of the local populace, and effect a change in priorities. This suggests the need for cross-disciplinary perspectives to measure and monitor impacts and manage a coastal tourism that 'lasts'. This publication is among the products of a research project entitled 'Measuring, monitoring, and managing sustainability: the coastal dimension', supported by the European Union's INCO-DC programme over the period 1998-2002. It has involved three Indian and four European institutes. The contributions reflect a range of disciplines, including sociology, economics, biology, chemistry, hydrology, geography, and botany. The objective is to highlight (1) the interface between social and environmental issues in a coastal tourism context, (2) the issues that need to be considered in planning and managing for coastal development within a sustainability framework, and (3) the need for coastal policy-making to be more stakeholder-sensitive This publication provides a comprehensive, accessible account of the analyses, results, and decision tools developed to measure, monitor, and manage coastal tourism developments along sustainable paths and opens up fresh perspectives for the development of sustainable strategies. This book should be of interest to coastal planners, professionals in the tourism industry, researchers, and those interested in developing a sustainability science.
Book Synopsis Coastal Tourism, Sustainability, and Climate Change in the Caribbean, Volume II by : Martha Honey
Download or read book Coastal Tourism, Sustainability, and Climate Change in the Caribbean, Volume II written by Martha Honey and published by Business Expert Press. This book was released on 2017-03-24 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This second volume on coastal tourism and climate change in the Caribbean examines three key supporting sectors: golf, local agriculture and cuisine, and aviation. Today, climate change is propelling accelerated reforms in these three sectors. Initiatives to link local agriculture to tourism are enriching visitor experiences and revitalizing local crops and cuisine, while reducing the carbon impact-the food print-from agricultural imports. Similarly, golf certification programs are providing templates for constructing and operating courses with smaller carbon footprints. In aviation, as well, virtually all international airlines are testing non-fossil fuel alternatives, and a nascent but growing green airport movement is reducing aviation's carbon footprint and improving its resilience. As the volume concludes, coastal tourism in the Caribbean is today addressing two intertwined concerns and opportunities: Òthe impacts of climate change and imperative of responsible tourism.Ó
