This tourism vulnerability capacity assessment study sought to provide information that will assist in reducing the vulnerability, risk, and losses from climate change in the tourism industry. Speightstown on the west coast of Barbados was used as the case study location. Among other things, the study conducted a climate change threat perception survey in which it was determined that most stakeholders saw little potential threat from climate change and furthermore felt that the cost of any adaptation should be borne by the government as opposed to the private sector.
