Destinations of pristine natural beauty, great historic value, amazing built heritage or cultures with intangible heritage are at risk by the very patronage that recognizes their importance. Further climate change impacts witnessed through erratic weather patterns test the resilience of the destination and its’ visitor economy. Driving sustainability requires multi-pronged strategies that combine actions in regulation, master planning, demand management, infrastructure development, traveler education, community action and ecosystem capacity development.
