Abstract

Worldwide Climate change is a challenging issue for every sector from business to agriculture or society. Tourism is not exempt from the adversity of Climate Change impact in a disaster-prone country like Bangladesh. Tourism could be regarded as a worst victim to Climate Change and it contributes to global Climate Change as well. However, the chapter outlays the Climate Change impact on tourism in Bangladesh and potential tackling strategies for sustainable tourism development of the country. A thorough systematic review has been done based on peer reviewed journals, reports of tourism policy makers or civil society dialogues to outline potential adaptation strategies that could be implanted by the tourism industries or stakeholders of Bangladesh to make it more sustainable. Though tourism industry of Bangladesh is still lagging behind than the neighboring countries, it is high time to adopt the strategies generated from both primary and secondary sources of data. To observe Climate Change impact thermal images had been analyzed of top tourist destination of Bangladesh and temperature data had been investigated for analysis based on the climatic data collected from the Bangladesh Meteorological Department. Other resources also show same evidence that climate change is bringing about temperature rise, beach erosion, uneven precipitation rate and salinity intrusion in the country. Finally, after identifying probable impacts on tourism because of Climate Change, adaptation measures have been suggested widely. Thus, there is always scope for further research to develop tourism sector is a sustainable manner and combat with the Climate Change adversity.
