TOURISM INDUSTRY AWKWARDLY BEWILDERED BY CLIMATE CHANGE

Tourism and climate change has become a spotlight topic nowadays. Global warming has an effect on tourism and the economies of many countries. Climate is an essential resource for any tourism sector especially for ‎beach, nature and winter ‎spots tourism. The phenomenon of global warming already affects the tourism ‎industry and an increasing number of destinations. With an incretion of temperature, climate may be much warmer which has very important consequences on the tourism industry. Tourism operators will also examine the impact of climate change on their industry. Climate change is a gradual, creeping process that will have long-term effects on tourism. The tourism industry needs to recognize the importance of climate change and other environmental issues for its development in future. The visitors traveling from long distances by air and cruise ships it is even more very difficult.

Tourism faces a monstrous problem due to changes in climate. The whole industry is heavily smashed up by the consequences of climate change such as higher temperatures, erratic rainfalls and increased intensities of drastic happenings such as cyclones, floods, storm and coastal humiliation. Some counties may suffer from droughts and many plants may not hold off such high temperatures and they scattered. Many countries may looks more similar to a desert. Winter spots holidays will be threatened by the melting glaciers, beach holidays will be threatened by drought and heat waves. So people are very scared of getting into the holidays trips. Since the majority of the tourism industry is located in coastal areas, the tourism sector is likely to face the burden. Tourism currently accounts for 5 percent of global emissions of heat-trapping greenhouse gases, and the sector's contribution to global warming is expected to jump as increasing numbers of people travel, particularly by air.

The entire tourism industry will be affected because every destination is climate oriented. Before this issue people are going to find tourism as a pleasure and leisure but nowadays they are highly threatened by the climate change which is also considered to be one of the major reason for swine flu etc., in order to get rid of this issues, the tourism industry needs to act positively to broadcast itself as environmentally conscious, carbon neutral and not infuriate the problem.

Global Warming Effects on Wineries

The effects of global warming have been felt for many years and businesses are slowly begins to take notice of the potential adverse impacts, a changing climate may have on their industries. Particularly, the noticeable changes in weather patterns have drastically affect the winery industry. Climate change has had a marked impacted on global weather patterns and led to growing concerns among wineries about their multi-billion dollar industry. A similar fate may befall beer brewers if the earth's climate continues to warm.

The recent articles said that, the price of beer is likely to rise in coming decades because of the global climatic change. Beer-making is a delicate business which prepared with a dataset of weather patterns, crop yield and hop quality. Hops are the flowers of the Humulus lupulus, or hop used as a flavor and stability agent in beer. The quality of hops which are required to make beer has been decreasing because of the warmer temperatures caused by the climate change greatly hurting the quality of hopes.

The change in climate will de-promote the production of a key grains needed for the formulation of alcoholic beverages and alcohol fuel through fermentation especially in Australia. A climate scientist at New Zealand's national institute of water and atmospheric research said that, climate change likely will cause a decline in the production of malting barley in parts of New Zealand and Australia. Malting barley is one of the key ingredient of beer.

Brewers use only hops, barley, water, and yeast in their beers in order to guarantee that they are "good and healthy." This means that brewers are legally unable to substitute barley with rice or corn, which both provide the same component in the brewing process. Most brewers will only accept the highest quality of barley for their malt. The vast amounts of rain that fell just prior to harvest can result in damages to the barley These effects reduce the ability or rate of germination during malting. Most brewers will not accept the inferior barley because these damages can lead to lower malt extract, reduced processing performance, most importantly it will off the flavors. The bad weather has cut the usable yield high quality barley from 1.6 million tons to 1.2 million tons in one year.

Similar effects could be expected worldwide, climate change could cause a drop in beer production within 30 years, especially in parts of Australia, as dry areas become drier and water shortages worsen.

It will provide a lot of challenges for the brewing industry," even forcing breweries to look at new varieties of malt barley as a direct result of climate change
