To accept this point requires that in the advent of climate change,
Lefebvre’s (1991) triadic model of social space is complemented by a
discussion of the accelerated dynamics of the environment. Global climatic
changes will require tourism officials to examine the environmental
consequences of their practices and to abandon representational
strategies that assume a dualism between humans and nature. In fact,
this human-nature dualism, which is often uncritically endorsed by tourists
and tourism, inhibits the comprehension of our increasing role in
the dynamic nature of tourism landscapes. The current study merely explored
a small portion of larger challenges that climate change presents
to tourism. Subsequent investigations are necessary to augment knowledge
on the human-nature relationship as applies to touristic endeavors
as well as daily practices. Lastly, such scholarly undertakings could contribute
to the global dialogue on climate change
