Landscape ranks among the most important factors in destination choice, and tourists are attracted to national parks because they represent an aesthetically pleasing and healthy environment with interesting flora and fauna. The impact of climate change on biodiversity and natural landscapes may have a negative influence on their amenity value and hence on visitor numbers. Coral bleaching is a case in point. Its effects on visitation could be assessed by studying the impacts of the bleaching events in the 1990s and 2000s. In 2016, 93% of individual reefs along the Great Barrier Reef experienced bleaching and 22% of the coral died. Whether the impacts on demand remain limited after sustained periods of bleaching is an open question.Cultural heritage includes considerations of built heritage (historic and architectural), archaeological heritage and socio-cultural heritage. The most obvious impact of climate change on cultural heritage is the direct effect of rising sea level on structures near coasts that may be flooded or damaged by coastal erosion. Increased rainfall resulting in rising water tables will also have an effect on the foundations or the fabric of buildings. Saving vulnerable sites from climate change, including world famous destinations such as Venice, will in many cases be very costly.

Sportfishing, for example, depends upon specific types of fish that require specific climatic conditions. Changes in these conditions will lead to financial damage for the sportfishing industry, which for the United States have been estimated at US$320 million per year or more in the 2050s .

Critically discuss the future of tourism in terms of sustainable development. https://padlet.com/sharminiqbalmoni/ou6d0qbke1015vvl/wish/2255436363 2022-08-05 11:36:55 UTC https://padlet.com/sharminiqbalmoni/ou6d0qbke1015vvl/wish/2255436363 In the context of tourism and hospitality, scholarly and practitioner foci on sustainability seem to be firmly entrenched on themes that address, inter alia, reducing the carbon footprint; alternative modes and technologies of travel; green energy; reforestation; use of non-recyclable plastics; and even micro-management considerations such as plate waste (see, for example, Dolnicar et al., 2020). sharminiqbalmoni https://padlet.com/sharminiqbalmoni/ou6d0qbke1015vvl/wish/2258875639 2022-08-11 07:37:24 UTC https://padlet.com/sharminiqbalmoni/ou6d0qbke1015vvl/wish/2258875639 At the macro-level, tourism, as an industry with predominantly low entry barriers, provides a ‘soak’ or starting block for individuals in many sectors of the labour market to encourage meaningful workforce participation and to gain valuable work experience and exposure, as in case, for instance, of youth (Robinson et al., 2019a), migrants (Janta et al., 2011) including refugees (McGrath, 2022) and those experiencing disadvantage or living with disability (McIntosh & Harris, 2018) in order to develop transferable skills and build social and economic capital (Lugosi et al., 2016). Addressing tourism employment at the organisational level, it is significant to note that many environmental sustainability initiatives, whether proactive or cost-saving, depend on positive employee attitudes, engagement, and actions (Ones & Dilchert, 2012 sharminiqbalmoni https://padlet.com/sharminiqbalmoni/ou6d0qbke1015vvl/wish/2258879557 2022-08-11 07:44:00 UTC https://padlet.com/sharminiqbalmoni/ou6d0qbke1015vvl/wish/2258879557
