Tourism Security after Climate Change

The present short piece interrogates on the intersection of climate change, which results from a much deeper ecological crisis, and the tourist system. Based on the contributions of Tim Ingold, a British anthropologist who introduced the idea of “the relational perspective”, we lay the foundations towards a new (alternative) understanding of the issue (for the years to come). We make a critical reading of the methodological problems and limitations of the economic-centered paradigm to grasp the nature of climate change beyond the materialist lens. Though our future remains uncertain, no less true is that tourism is part of the solution or the problem depends strictly on the possibilities the founding values of capitalist society to be sustainably transformed.
