Climate change adaptation of tourism in SloveniaTurnšek, Maja ...This monography prepares the groundwork for adaptation within the tourism sector in Slovenia, assesses the risks and vulnerabilities of Slovenian tourism to climate change, and identifies possible ... adaptation options of Slovenian tourism. The analysis uses past climate data and three scenarios of climate change until the end of the 21st century: RCP2.6 (optimistic), RCP4.5 (middle) and RCP8.5 (pessimistic). Two databases were used to get a wider range of available data: historical data and projections from the Copernicus Climate Change Service and Slovenian Environment Agency archive data. The analysis focuses on four main areas of Slovenian tourism: (a) health, wellness, beach and other water-related tourism, (b) urban and cultural tourism and MICE tourism, (c) winter outdoor tourism and (d) summer outdoor tourism. The results confirm past comparative research about Slovenian tourism being less vulnerable to climate change, with the important exception of winter tourism. While some of the climate change impacts are expected to even benefit Slovenian tourism, adaptation processes are still highly recommended both with regards to direct impacts, such as the increase of temperature, and indirect impacts such as the expected increase of tourism impacts on biodiversity due to the prolonged summer season. The detailed analysis provides recommendations for climate change adaptation of each of the four types of tourism at selected locations. At the same time, the authors stress the need for tourism to be involved in broader national climate change adaptation strategy, primarily in addressing drought and biodiversity loss. Finally, the authors calls for the greater involvement of Slovenian tourism in the global climate change adaptation and mitigation efforts and stresses the responsibility of the tourism industry from a transnational perspective.Type of material - project documentation ; adult, seriousPublication and manufacture - Brežice : University of Maribor.
