More people are taking up "last chance tourism", where one goes to see things that may not be around much or anymore in the future.
This may be good for the tourism business, for connecting people with nature and for driving home the need to do something about climate change. But concerns are growing about adverse outcomes as well....

More tourists mean more business and more climate change awareness, but visiting a glacier can be a double-edged sword

How much do we know about tourism and climate adaptation?
Adapting to climate change impacts in an industry considered to be a vulnerable and highly climate-sensitive economic sector, could be both challenging and complicated. Tourism could be an ideal industry to support climate adaptation....
Tourism’s contribution to greenhouse gas emissions was estimated to be approximately 8%. The call to increase resilience to enable adaptation in more places will surely be getting louder.

Ensuring the tourism sector adapts to climate change impacts could be both challenging and complicated, but industry players are already finding ways to mitigate climate impacts on their bottom line.
Wowowow....world's first carbon neutral tourist destination. It takes cooperation, understanding how different stakeholders work and a lot of effort.
Machu Picchu has become the first international destination to obtain the carbon neutral certificate. The certification was awarded to the Historic and Natural Sanctuary of Machu Picchu by the Green Initiative, which is an institution that seeks to promote green and environmentally friendly tourism
Attaining sustainability certification should be seen as a journey not so much a destination.
The process entails forging strong relationships with new suppliers, or even stronger relationships with existing suppliers, and engaging with customers during the certification process. There are opportunities you can carve out in the many criteria, to engage stakeholders and identify new opportunities.
These are key steps towards helping external stakeholders better understand the new direction of the organisation.
Invest 4 hours of your time learning and understanding the different things sustainability certifications cover, for tourism and hospitality businesses. You could be a young executive going to work in the travel and tourism and hospitality industry, or a seasoned executive learning more about sustainability certifications.
