Climate change poses a greater risk to travelers and the tourism industry than the threat of terrorism, according to a new article. The authors explain how in recent years the proliferation of terrorist atrocities has had a negative impact on the tourism industry. However, the reality is that the potential risk to the general holidaying public is much less than the potentially apocalyptic scenarios described by "tabloid" media outlets, whereas the risks associated with environmental mismanagement and global warming could be far greater.
