The climate plays an important role in Tourism so climate change like F& B components and menus could be a growing focus in Travel and tour operations. The GHG emissions from our life cycles and waste production result in climate change.
The environmental and Socio-economic changes make significant changes in the profitability of the Travel and Tourism Sector. Climate change leads to business interruptions as it may impact different regions of Tourism differently.
The systemic interconnected impact of climate change is most noted as it holds across societal, environmental, and social facets like decreasing of coastlines and Increasing sea levels, Ocean acidification, Marine life depletion, Challenges to the food supply, Health problems, Increased poverty, Displacement of people, Geopolitical conflicts related to energy and natural resources.
According to International Civil aviation Association, 2% of global emission accounts to International and national aircraft and International aviation alone accounts 1.3% of global emissions and a set of goals were set to reduce the emissions and The Carbon offsetting and reduction scheme in the International aviation CORSIA will assist to achieve the carbon-neutral goal. CORSIA is based on air routes and it is designed to implement in different phases. To ensure transparency ICAO has rules and regulations for monitoring and reporting verification systems.
The share of Tourism transport in current global emissions is relatively small the need to develop effective mitigation measures is need considering its projected dynamic growth. It is not easy to solve the problem of climate change on its own and technological development is a key tool, In mitigation efforts.
Although tourism transport has a relatively small share in current global emissions, there is a need to develop effective mitigation measures, considering its projected dynamic growth. In the mitigation efforts, technological development is still a key tool, but it is unable to solve the problem of climate change on its own.
In the World Economic Forum (WEF) Global Risks 2017 report, climate change risk accounts for three of the top five risks in terms of likelihood and impact: extreme weather events, major natural disasters, and failure of climate change mitigation and adaptation. Extreme weather events are considered the world’s top risk in terms of perceived likelihood
Some hotel chains have even established climate funds where a small percentage of the profits generated in their hotels is transferred.
Effective adaptation strategies for ecotourism and nature-based destinations should develop and design in natural areas since ecosystems can be highly vulnerable to climate change impacts. A need to implement a mix of measures, including technological improvements, regulatory and market-based measures, as well as behaviour changes .reduce energy use and apply renewable energy sources is the need of the hour.
