Resumen
PEREZ FIGUEREDO, Alexis Santiago. Risk Management, a Touristic Perspective for Development within the Context of Climate Change. Rev retos [online]. 2019, vol.13, n.2, pp. 1-19. Epub 01-Sep-2019. ISSN 2306-9155.
In this paper, several approaches to deal with the relation between touristic development and risk management within the context of climate change, are suggested. This study was made possible thanks to various techniques applied, such as, research analysis, interviews, and bibliographic and documentary reviews. The arguments provided in this paper might facilitate the analysis of key elements, and favor the two aspects, in order to fight the impacts of climate change and help introduce new approaches of sustainable tourism based on production and consumption. The underlying purposes were to invigorate the local economy, and implement a more coherent policy for use and preservation of natural resources and the environment. To conclude, tourism generates benefits, but when treated inapropriately, it can disturb the environment, creating potential hazards and new vulnerabilities (or outspreading the existing ones), or leading to risks. Awareness of the above must encourage the tourist sector to take actions that contribute to risk management in terms of climate change response.
