Download or read book Weather and Camping in Ontario Parks written by Micah Joel Hewer and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Climate and weather have a major influence over seasonality in nature-based tourism by determining the availability and quality of certain outdoor recreational activities (Butler, 2001). Climate and weather act as central motivators involved in the travel decisions of tourists (Mintel International Group, 1991; Kozak, 2002). Climate as an attraction is also an integral component considered in destination choice among tourists (Lohmann and Kaim, 1999; Hamilton and Lau, 2005; Gössling et al. 2006). Due to the relationship between climate, weather and outdoor recreation, climate change is expected to have a direct impact on park visitation and camper decision-making (Jones and Scott, 2006a; 2006b). This study contributes to the understanding of weather sensitivity for different tourism segments across varying climate zones world-wide which can contribute to more informed park tourism planning and climate change adaptation in Ontario.

Download or read book Tourism in Changing Natural Environments written by Natalie Ooi and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-05-21 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Natural environments, and the human interactions that occur within, are continuously changing and evolving. This comprehensive volume explores how the impacts of climate change, natural and man-made disasters, economic instability, and other macro-environmental factors can have profound implications for local and global economies, fragile ecosystems, and human cultures and livelihoods. The authors examine the numerous ways in which changes in the natural environment impact tourism, and how the tourism industry is responding and adapting to such changes, in both developed and developing regions. Through the various case studies that examine human interaction within what are often fragile ecosystems, this book makes it clear that, while adaptation can be passive in nature, it can and should be much more proactive, with individuals and organizations seeking improved knowledge and learning. Such actions will contribute to greater resilience within the tourism industry, whether in response to climate change and its subsequent impacts, or an increasing scarcity of the natural resources upon which tourism relies. This book was originally published as a special issue of the journal Tourism Geographies.

Download or read book Climate Change and Ontario s Provincial Parks written by Christopher J. Lemieux and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This report assesses the implications of climate change for Ontario's system of provincial parks. A broad range of climate change impacts (e.g., changes in ecosystem composition, structure, and function as well as increased forest fire severity) were identified as potentially significant for Ontario Parks' policy, planning, and management frameworks. While the literature review and the models described in this report identify a number of potential impacts resulting from climate change (e.g., changes in biome climate envelope representation, increased forest fire severity, and the loss of polar bear [Ursus maritimus] habitat from Polar Bear Provincial Park), significant knowledge gaps remain in many areas. As such, the results presented in this study should be taken as indicative, not predictive, of the magnitude of impact climate change may have on Ontario's provincial parks."--Document.
