“…Climate change is anticipated to increase the frequency of extreme weather events that threaten sustainable economic development and the resiliency of ecosystem services (Craig & Feng, ; Schirpke et al., ). The food system is particularly vulnerable because of shifting weather patterns such as extended droughts, flooding, frost, and heavy rain or hail (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, ; Murray & Ebi, ; Rötter et al., ).…”

Effectively adapting to climate change involves overcoming social and ecological system barriers.The present study uses a three-phase adaptation framework to propose adaptation strategies aimed at overcoming socioecological barriers of the food-energy-water (FEW) nexus. Cradleto-farm-gate land, greenhouse gas (GHG), and water impacts-that derive from food consumption in the United States-are analyzed and differentiated by major demographic groups (Black, Latinx, and White). Results indicate that the White demographic yields the highest per capita GHG (680 kg of CO 2 eq⋅year −1 ) and water impacts (328,600 L⋅year −1 ) from food consumption, whereas the Black demographic yields the highest per capita land impacts (1,770 m 2 ⋅year −1 ) from food consumption. Our findings suggest that obtaining data with the intention of building consensus across sociodemographic lines overcomes barriers in the understanding phase, leading to increased social receptivity for many planning and managing phase processes. Specifically, we find that identifying and developing leaders who possess the cognitive and interpersonal capacity to manage many variables and stakeholders is key to assessing and selecting adaptation options in the planning phase. We also propose using government programming to encourage environmentally friendly food purchasing behavior. Then, we discuss how our proposals could be used in adaptation feasibility and evaluation activities in the managing phase. In all, these findings facilitate the development of improved climate change adaptation and policy by satisfying the understanding phase of the climate change adaptation framework, establishing a cross-disciplinary methodological approach to addressing socioecological problems, and providing useful FEW impact data for FEW nexus and climate change researchers.

“…By far, the scientific community is largely convinced that climate change and its consequences is a fact rather than fiction, notwithstanding the uncertainties (Hallett, 2002;Romm, 2004;Lynch, 2018). Pertinent to climate change and tourism, discussions and warnings also abound (Craig and Feng, 2018;Weir, 2017;Wijaya and Furqan, 2018, just to name a few). Some authors have focused on specific destinations in terms of climate change and its impact on tourism (Wijaya & Furqan, 2018;Chin et al, 2018;Liu et al, 2019;Hewer & Gough, 2018).…”

This paper investigates the intentions of tourists to purchase climate insurance as part of their holiday packages. A research model, based on Bagozzi's reformulation of attitude theory (BRAT) designed to examine the relationships between climate expectation-disconfirmation and the behavioral intentions of tourists in purchasing tourism climate insurance, with destination loyalty as an outcome. The model hypothesizes and tests whether expectation-disconfirmation can be resolved by insuring the product-climate. A structural equation modeling (SEM) is utilized. The results reveal that the expectation-disconfirmation of tourists in relation to climate is positively associated with their intentions to purchase insurance and negatively affects loyalty.

“…As such, temperature is an important indicator in destination choice. Temperature has direct impact on tourism activities, especially outdoor activities (Craig & Feng, 2018). Temperature variations may have a strong effect on the flow of tourists (Rosselló-Nadal, Riera-Font, & Cá rdenas, 2011).…”

“…Rainfall is another climate pattern that can also directly or indirectly influence the destination choice of holiday makers. The direct impact is that the rainfall may reduce the number and quality of outdoor activities for tourists (Craig & Feng, 2018) and influence the demand for tourism destinations that are outdoors (Aylen, Albertson, & Cavan, 2014). The indirect impact is that changes in rainfall could alter ecosystems, drastically destabilizing a destination, particularly those that celebrate natural heritage.…”

Impact of Climate Change to Tourism Sector in the Vietnamese Mekong Delta

Mekong Delta Region of Vietnam is forecasted to have one of world’s most severe impacts from climate change. There is a big knowledge gap in research on climate change impacts on tourism in this area. While climate change’s impacts on agriculture and fisheries have received much attention from authorities and researchers, impacts on tourism have largely been ignored. This paper presents findings from a field study the authors conducted to fill the research gap on climate change’s impact on tourism in Mekong River Delta. The study based on spatial analysis and questionnaires and interviews of local tourism leaders, tourism businesses and tourists discovered that climate change is a real challenge for region’s tourism businesses. Vulnerable tourism businesses in low and flat delta such as Mekong needs more attention and practical actions from international organizations and local entities in the era of climate change threats.
