Abstract

Tourism can be considered an economic sector highly sensitive to climate change and has contributed to the emission of greenhouse gases (GHG), one of the causes of global warming. To mitigate its negative impacts, the conception of the development of tourism from the point of view of sustainability emerges, which should incorporate the externalities derived from climate change. Given this reality, this research aims to examine the impacts, opportunities, and challenges for the sustainable development of tourism, based on scenarios projected by the global climate changes. The methodology has a descriptive/analytical, interdisciplinary and systemic approach, based on bibliometric and documentary research, and interviews with specialists in tourism development and climate changes. The results include the construction of prospective scenarios that may show possible impacts and consequences of climate changes on the international tourism system, constituting information for mitigation purposes, planning for adaptation actions, and minimizing impacts and vulnerabilities.
