Tourism is one of the most vulnerable industries to climate change. Many of Asean’s beaches and coral reefs have been seriously damaged by climate change, such as the inland erosion of up to 150m along 3km of Vietnam’s Cua Dai Beach and the significant increase in coral bleaching in Indonesia, the Philippines and Thailand.
For Indonesia, one of the most vulnerable countries to climate change, the latest studies show that every 1% increase in temperature and relative humidity is associated with a decrease in the number of international tourists by 1.37% and 0.59%, respectively. Specific and concrete regional tourism strategies and regulations related to climate change are needed.
The strategic planning process should then define and allocate roles and duties to stakeholders. Furthermore, metropolitan regions such as Bangkok and Ho Chi Minh City, among Asean’s most popular tourist zones, should not be overlooked in the development of climate-adaptive tourism.
