Abstract
From having been culpably absent from the public debate, to now being the elephant in the room, the climate crisis we are collectively walking into risks becoming the most decisive megatrend in terms of changing the course of our history. No industry or dimension will be spared in what is shaping up to become a deep overhaul of our collective business model, its kpis and culture. Balancing the looming menaces and the newly emerging shoots of Green Economy, Travel and Tourism will be challenged like never before to take a long and hard look at how business is carried out. The chapter analyses some very likely outcomes of this context: from amenity migration to solidarity tourism, water contention and sustainable holidays. We then single out one touristic district, the Alps, already under the pressure of climate change, to analyze its adaptation measures.
