Tourist demand and destination development under climate change: complexities and perspectives
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Climate change is becoming increasingly impactful on global tourism, including climate patterns and weather extremes, degraded and lost assets (snow, water, biodiversity, beach), business disruption and damage, rises in travel and hospitality cost, as well as deteriorating socio-economic stability. Based on a narrative review of the literature, the paper develops a series of conceptualizations that represent the complexities and implications for tourist demand. Findings confirm that while tourists have diverse options to adapt to climate change - including spatial substitution, temporal shifts, and activity modification - the rising cost of tourism due to climate change is likely to be the primary driver of tourist demand responses in the immediate future. There is a considerable risk that severe disruptions in the tourism system will occur within the next two decades unless mitigation efforts are significantly scaled up, with salient impacts on destination competitiveness and tourism demand. Important research gaps persist, specifically in relation to the implications of cost changes and compounding impacts, which inhibit robust projections of future tourism losses and gains at the destination scale.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
