The Tourism Sector Must Remain Alert To The Perrenial Climate Change Risksdline

This year, the United Nations World Tourism Organisation UN Tourism declared that the theme for World Tourism Day which was celebrated annually on the 27th of September will be Tourism and Peace.

The declaration could not have been more appropriate, solely because we continue to witness world nations ravaged by devasting war and conflict in developed and developing worlds alike.

Of interest to me is the link between war, climate change and tourism-

The climate is changing everywhere, but it is people living in fragile zones who bear the effects as inflicted by climate change and conflict, causing massive suffering and intensifying inequality.

Globally, we witness people living through conflict frequently and the massive environmental changes they are experiencing, with their daily lives made more difficult by the violence, but also by a changing climate and environment.
