Stakeholder perspectives on climate change and adaptation in expedition cruise tourism in Nunavut
Climate change and tourism change are global phenomena (Keskitalo, 2008; Page, 2003). As climate change becomes more pronounced and the tourism industry continues to be susceptible to changes in climate (Coombes, Jones, & Sutherland, 2009), understanding the tourism industry’s vulnerabilities an...

One of the jurisdictions where the tourism industry is likely to be vulnerable and require adaptation to the climate change-tourism relationship is in the Territory of Nunavut in Canada’s Arctic. Nunavut’s tourism industry is influenced by vulnerabilities and opportunities that are particular to the Arctic (Loverseed, 2008; Milne, 2006); these influences require Arctic specific responses, innovations and adaptations. Arctic specific adaptations are facilitated by the stakeholders involved in the management of Nunavut’s tourism industry. On an ongoing basis, Arctic stakeholders have to address current and predicted vulnerabilities and opportunities; these need to be addressed in such a way that the political, economic, social, and ecological systems of the region are able to cope with and recover from various stresses.

Climate change and tourism change are global phenomena (Keskitalo, 2008; Page, 2003).
