The tourism industry is dependent on natural beauty to remain intact in order to attract tourists. The conventional narrative about tourism itself is the idea of a land with pristine beauty, very few people and a relaxed atmosphere. Unfortunately, climate change is altering the reality with numerous tourism hotspots under environmental threat. One key example is that of Australia’s Great Barrier Reef which support nearly seventy thousand tourism jobsannually in the country. Yet climate change has reduced the reef cover thus reducing the marine life. This impacts tourists’ expectations versus the reality. Of course, tour operators can adapt accordingly, but that may only be a temporary solution as climate change seems a more permanent source of damage.
