North Carolina State University researchers found in a new study that while many tourists visiting a mountain destination in southern Mexico wouldn't change their near-term plans to visit due to climate change, more than two-thirds said they would or might change their plans by 2060 under more drastically changed conditions.
that while many tourists visiting a mountain destination in southern Mexico wouldn't change their near-term plans to visit due to climate change, more than two-thirds said they would or might change their plans by 2060 under more drastically changed conditions.
"In other studies, we've seen that for some tourists, their attachment to a place will mean they'll come back, even as climactic and environmental conditions change," said study co-author Erin Seekamp, Goodnight Distinguished Professor in Coastal Resilience and Sustainability at NC State."But there are a lot of people who are uncertain. That's something theneeds to heed with caution.
In surveys handed out at festivals, popular attractions and restaurants throughout the Pueblos Mancomunados, researchers asked tourists about their travel plans under two different climate change scenarios: a scenario with more modest changes by 2030, and another scenario with more dramatic shifts in temperature, precipitation, risk of wildfire, decreases in cloud forest coverage, and lower biodiversity by 2060.
