Abstract

This paper intends to give an overview on some future aspects of ski and coastal tourism, in the light of climate change and sustainability, based on literature available.
Since the last third of the 20th century, tourism and sport with their immense development have become two of the most requested free-time activities of citizens in the developed countries. Also, the conjuncture of the need for recreation, which can be considered as the basic and most popular motivation of travelling and sport, is undiminished too. According to the investigations carried out by the World Tourism Organization, most popular physical activities among recreational travels are skiing, snowboarding, climbing, touring, water sports and cycling.
The popularity of outdoor activities in certain fields may lead to the high concentration of participants regarding both time and space, resulting in significant development in infrastructure altering the environment and also causing an increased load of environment. Research of the impact of tourism and sport on the natural environment, in addition to these two sectors becoming multitudinous, is becoming more and more essential as nowadays outdoor, sport-orientated travels are gaining more and more grounds.
Due to the expected consequences of global climate change, tourism faces several new challenges. Various impacts of climate change have the most effects on branches of tourism classified as mass tourism.
Analysis of the potential impacts of climate change tendencies and sport tourism on the relief of the Earth’s surface and living world (long-term and regular observation of plant and animal species and ecosystems) is a more and more important objective today. During this, it is necessary to have a comprehensive analysis and evaluation that would determine the orientations of the development of each branch of mass tourism for all potential climate change scenarios. Moreover, climate change influencing the alternative branches of tourism (e.g. wine tourism, water tourism, hunting tourism) should not be forgotten in the future.
