Abstract: In recent decades global climate has significantly changed which, in turn, has affected the human society and the nature. Disturbance of balance of the global planetary ecological system by increasing greenhouse gas emissions and climate change, which are partly caused by human activity, is one of the biggest challenges of humanity. Climate change as a global phenomenon will affect the changing business conditions in the overall economy, including tourism. In order to overcome this problem, in addition to measures related to climate change mitigation, and in order to minimize the negative impact of tourism on the climate, it is necessary to set measures to adapt the tourism industry to the new situation. The paper explores how the Croatian tourism industry can adapt, and which measures the key stakeholders consider as the most suitable. In order to define the adaptation measures interviews of the key stakeholders in the tourism industry were conducted, and the multi-criteria analysis was used to rank the measures.
