Modelling a Tourism Response to Climate Change Using a Four Stage Problem Definition and Response Framework

摘要: Climate change has become a hot topic for research, but the response of national governments been relatively cool, particularly in their support effective mitigation measures to combat problem. A review scientific literature (Intergovernmental Panel on Change [IPCC]. (2007). Summary policy makers. In S. Solomon, M. Qin, Z. Manning, Chen, K. Marquia, Averyt, Tignor, & H. Miller (Eds.), 2007: physical science basis. Contribution working group 1 fourth assessment report Intergovernmental Change. Cambridge, United Kingdom and New York: Cambridge University Press) paints generally grim view where Earth is heading by end century if strategies are not implemented next few years. Mitigation type required prevent major environmental damage future can only be global political approach based agreed levels climate gas reduction implemented. For its part tourism industry caught trap, unable adopt meaningful because reluctance consumers bear cost changes that will having meet adaption when they introduced future. This article proposes four stage problem definition framework with associated models used plan adapt both prior after introduction legislation policies at international levels.
