Editorial: Tourism and its Interactions with Climate Change.

The author reflects on the impact of climate change on tourism. He stresses that anthropogenetic climate change has been increasingly recognized as the major threat to large sections of the society and the environment. He points out that there has been little research undertaken on the impacts of climate change on tourism, thus, resulted in the publication of only a small volume of peer-reviewed research. He argues that studies which are undertaken by climate scientists have shown that it is not only the magnitude of changes which are increasingly unprecedented but also the rate of those changes.
