10.07.19, 3 tourists lost their lives during 5min rainstorm in Chalkidiki. RIP

What do you think?

The "caribbean mexican sargazo" its the best example of this. The tourist have change their prefences in this vacactions period, with thousands of money losts

climate change worst affect in tourism sector

number of birds sanctuaries under problems. no migrating birds reach the season due to warming.

The loss of people in the Chalkidiki disaster is extremely worrying for everyone on the planet. Most of the people killed were tourists.Wherever you go you may encounter the effects of extreme weather, tourist or local, equally affected.

All we have to do is simply stop throwing pollution into the air. We have very little air surrounding our planet and we keep throwing gases into the air that affect our climate. Before, we didn't realize our mistake. Now that we all know (except Donald Trump) we should change and change our habits fast.

I think this is the begining, only

Thanks dear colleagues for your comments,

As you mentioned this could be just the beginning, I think that addressing this problem professionally is important, both for the individual tourists and the tourism industry as a whole.

In May this year it reached a 60-year record 42 degrees C in the botanical gardens where I work in SW China. We get 700,000 tourists a year and May is peak flowering season, but you can't walk around a garden in a humid 42 degrees. However, warmer winters may compensate in some climates. If London has a climate like present-day Barcelona by 2050, as predicted, that would change tourist arrival patterns but might increase overall tourism.

Thanks @R. T. Corlett for your enlightening comments.

As you mentioned, there would be a change in the tourism market with such global warming, that would gradually happen over several years.

I am also agree with Mr.R.T. Corlett.Tourism and global warming is interrelated & both leave impact on each other (positive or negative).

Global warming------->rise in temerature in earths' climate system------>Climate change---->impact on environment---->it means ecological disturbance i.e*1- Physical system:-example, snow melting, flooding, drought,coastal erosion, glacial regression etc.*2- Biological system- terristrial and marine ecosystem disturbance leads to displacement or extinction of flora and fauna of the destination.*3- Human system- distruction of crop and food production and loss of economic livelihoods.

Overall we can say that climate change results in biodiversity loss, damage to asset & attraction of destination, degradation and disruption to cultural & natural heritage etc.--> it will negatively affect the tourism industry.

At the same time we can not deny the fact that tourism is contributing to climate change and global warming. That is why today a word "Sustainable" has become very popular in tourism sector.

Global warming forcibly creates conditions for development that require the interaction of communities of people on a scale beyond the territorial space of states. Social practices, which are no longer based on the principle of national identity and are inherently non-state, extra-regional, extra-territorial forms of self-organization of economic, political and other types of socio-cultural change, are spreading in the world.

tourism particularly coastal tourism will be devastated by sea level rise

Urge for tourism would be lost due to changing in climate, lack of food, flood, drought and changes of seasons.

The gradual disappearance of ice north of Canada and Russia will make the Arctic Ocean open to tourists with cruise ships crossing the previously frozen ocean.
