Abstract

Coastal tourist destinations are highly vulnerable to climate change and its effects are seen in various parts of world. This study examines possible future changes in the costal tourist destinations of South Korea, focusing on changes in preferred weather conditions for beach activities and the expansion of flooding beaches due to sea level rise. The results show that days available for beach activities will be increased, but weather comfort for activity will be decreased. When it comes to the effects of sea level rise, beaches at the South Sea have high flooding potential, while beaches at the East Sea have low flooding probability. These findings suggest the need for location-specific adaption strategies to minimize climate change impacts.
