Abstract

This study is on ‘Risk of climate change at coastal tourism in Bangladesh. The main aim of this research is to describe the risks associated with climate change that has an impact on tourism. The study uses primary data collected from the respondents (Domestic, Local and International Tourists) by using various methods like; observation, survey and questionnaire. This research mainly adopts with close-ended questionnaire. This study uses Five Point Likert scale to measure the intensity of risk. This research identifies various types of risk like Rise of sea level, Rise of temperature, Acidic Sea, Damage Property, Damage infrastructure, Damage Livelihood, Damage environmental resources, Inundation during Storm, Risky Road, Heat Waves, Coastal Floods, Droughts, Pollution, Leads Powerful Hurricanes, and Allergy. This study also explores some other risks including Rainstorm, Disrupt Food Supply, Mangrove Deforestation, Saline Intrusion, Scarcity of Fresh Water, Population Displacement, Water Intrusion, Undermining of Local Communities, Coastline Erosion, Fish Stocks Inundate, Rough weather, Hot Sunshine with their intensity.
