Case Study Mexico: Riviera Maya - how is the Riviera Maya tourism industry dealing with climate change? An overview of non-climatic stressors that determine the destination's vulnerability to climate change.

Year: 2017

Type: book-chapter

Abstract: The present research has reviewed policy reports and undertaken 16 interviews with tourism stakeholders in the Riviera Maya (Quintana Roo, Mexico) to study the extent to which stakeholders perceive policies and strategies on climate change to be factors that determine the ability of a destination to adapt to and mitigate climate change. The case of Riviera Maya is relevant because perceptions, decisions and actions are heavily influenced by socio-economic and political factors, and because of the physical characteristics that increase the destination's exposure to natural disasters and climate change-related hazards.
