THE EFFECT OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON TOURISM
Muhammed DEMİRALP
ABSTRACT
Climate change has become one of the most important issues on the international agenda. Scientific
studies show that the negative impacts of climate change will be seen more severely, faster and more
widely in the upcoming period and that there is no region or sector that is exempt from these effects.
Among these sectors, tourism sector, which includes natural, historical and cultural features, is
considered as a sector that is highly vulnerable to climate change. In addition, the results of tourism
activities show a potential to increase climate change. In line with these principles, the aim of this study
is to evaluate the relationship between the tourism sector and climate change. In the study, it has been
concluded that in order to ensure the sustainability and climate resilience of the tourism sector, it is
crucial to implement actions for adaptation to climate change in the context of reducing greenhouse gas
emissions and minimizing the negative effects of the tourism sector. In this paper, it is also concluded
that the said measures to be taken within the scope of the interaction of climate change and tourism
sector are necessary for the realization of the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement, as well as the United
Nations 2030 Agenda and Sustainable Development Goals, to which Türkiye is also a party.
