Studies on the impact of climate change on tourism focus on
the relationship between climate and demand. Ancillary
effects, however, like sea-level rise, will also have an impact
on demand. Sea-level rise will result in the loss of low-lying
islands, the loss of low-lying land at the coast and the erosion
of beaches and cliffs. Nevertheless, there is a range of adaptation
measures that can minimize these problems. In some
cases, these measures will also change the appearance of the
coast. To assess the impact of climate change on tourism
information is needed on the relationship between coastal
morphology and tourism demand. The importance of the coast
for tourism can be seen in works of cultural history (Corbin,
1999), in qualitative studies (for example Mieczokowski, 1990) and in quantitative studies (Hamilton and Lau, 2005; Lise and
Tol, 2002; Maddison, 2001). In the quantitative tourism studies
mentioned above, different types of coastal landscape or
morphology are not distinguished. This study is the first to
link accommodation price with coastal and other landscape
attributes. Layton and Brown (2000) and Fleischer and Sternberg
(in press) examine the willingness to pay for climate
change mitigation in order to preserve certain kinds of landscape.
In this study, however, the focus is on the effect of
adaptation measures on the attractiveness of the coastal
landscape for tourism
