Abstract: The fast and continuous growth of the tourism industry over the past few years is one of the most remarkable economic phenomena of our time. In a context of global warming, many of the destinations are considering which effects on the demand and the tourism industry can be foreseen and how they should be tackled. In this paper the most relevant works that have tried to link climate change and tourism from the economic point of view are analyzed. Then, the possible impacts of global warming on the tourism and their contribution to greenhouse gases emission are reviewed as well as the effects that different mitigation measures could have on the tourist industry. The results of this study suggest the need to expand economic techniques, the variables included and the regionalize in order to go in deep in the analysis of the interactions between climate change and tourism, but also the necessity to know the consequences of global warming on environment in the sense that it is the most important attraction for the main tourist destinations.
