| description |
The growth of coastal tourism destinations and their relationship with the coastal
environments in which they are located have become current and sometimes
controversial topics of research, that are increasingly discussed internationally. In
this respect, coastal destinations, beaches and beach resorts have become
synonymous with tourism, tourism growth and economic success. With current
predictions of climate change and sea level rise they are, however, becoming
increasingly threatened by climate induced damage and economic uncertainty.
In this context a fairly recent report by the UK-based Churchill Insurance Group
highlighted that some of the world’s most famous tourist attractions, such as
Australia’s Great Barrier Reef and Italy’s Amalfi coast, could be closed to visitors
within a few years because of worries about environmental damage and climate
change. The report suggested that some destinations could be permanently
closed to tourists by 2020 or face severe restrictions on visitor numbers and
sharp increases in access costs. The report forecasted clear warnings, that within
20 to 40 years, destinations such as the Great Barrier Reef, Islands of the Carib-
bean, Pacifi c and Indian Ocean and swathes of America’s Gulf Coast and
Europe’s Mediterranean Basin could experience severe damage, in turn forcing
the closure or economic demise of many coastal tourism destinations. |
