The Impact of Climate Change on Ecotourism: Strategies for Enhancing Community Resilience

Climate change brings about various environmental changes, including rising temperatures, altered precipitation patterns, increased frequency of extreme weather events, and sea-level rise. This document explores the sustainability of ecotourism, emphasizing tactics that bolster resilience in the face of environmental and socio-economic obstacles. It outlines essential methods for improving the viability of ecotourism, such as preserving biodiversity, involving local communities, and ensuring fair economic advantages. Instances from Costa Rica, Namibia, and Bhutan demonstrate successful application of these approaches, demonstrating how they uphold ecological integrity while generating economic profits. Despite these favorable instances, the document also acknowledges ongoing challenges like climate change, political instability, and economic disparity that jeopardize the sustainability of ecotourism. Climate change, specifically, poses significant threats to natural wonders and biodiversity, while political turmoil can disrupt travel to key ecotourism sites. Moreover, unequal economic benefits can result in discontent among local populations. The research stresses the importance of continuous monitoring, adaptable management strategies, and collaboration among stakeholders to effectively address these challenges. Ultimately, a comprehensive approach that integrates ecological, social, and economic aspects is essential for cultivating a resilient and sustainable future in ecotourism, guaranteeing lasting benefits for both local communities and the environment. By embracing these inclusive strategies, the potential of ecotourism to positively impact sustainability can be fully realized.
