Global climate change and risk analysis of tourist destinations in the regions of Georgia

Abstract

Tourism is considered the largest industry in the world, and the environment is central to its development. Climate change has a significant impact on tourism destinations. The relevance, methodological and practical importance of the problems posed in the article, the presence of unresolved issues led to the selection of the research topic, the determination of the research goal and tasks. The subject of our research is climate change risk assessment on the tourist regions of Georgia. The environment is the basis of the tourist product, therefore the profitability of tourism depends on the attractiveness of tourist destinations. Due to the close relationship between environment and climate, tourism is considered a climate-sensitive economic sector. Climate change is likely to lead to a shift in destination. There is a need to reduce the risks from the impacts already caused by climate change.
