ABSTRACT
There is a burgeoning body of academic literature (e.g. Becken 2007; Gössling et al. 2006; Hares, Dickinson and Wilkes 2010) that examines if and how consumer concern about climate change manifests itself in tourist behavioural practices. These works build on a wealth of previous studies that consider how consumer concern over issues of sustainable development may also affect tourist behaviour. Indeed, while tourism’s climate impacts have lately been a hot topic, there is no doubt that issues of climate change are within the remit of, and need to be considered alongside, wider discourses of sustainable development (Weaver 2011).
