Abstract: Mediterranean (MED) Sea represents 30% of the world tourism and tourism activity is the main economic driver. On one hand, climate change affects negatively the environment for tourism and, on the other hand, traditional tourism activity contributes to climate change through emissions of greenhouse gases. For a sustainable future, this negative feedback relationship should change. Any environmental structural damage in the region would badly impact the economic and political stability because international tourism receipts have a crucial socio-economic role in the Mediterranean countries.
