Project 1:
Title:
Description and Research Gap:
Objectives:
• To examine the impacts of current and projected climate change on desert and coastal tourism at selected countries (UAE, Egypt, Morocco).
• To determine the vulnerabilities of tourism infrastructure from heat waves and climates that could produce extreme weather events.
• To formulate recommendations for resilience and adaptation planning.
Methods:
• Trend Analysis of meteorological data (e.g., temperature, heatwaves).
• GIS Mapping: Identify current and future tourism vulnerability.
• Stakeholder interviews: Tourism planners, authorities in local councils.
Expected Outcomes:
• Identify climate sensitive tourism zones.
• Adapt tourism for desert and coastal areas with climate-resilient strategies for heat, drought, and sea-level rise.
• Policy for climate responsive tourism planning.

Project 2:
Title:
Description & Research Gap:
Objectives:
• To assess the extent to which climate resilience planning is evident in destinations and among tourism operators.
• To understand the way disaster risk is managed by tourism enterprises.
• To ultimately recommend frameworks for climate disaster planning within tourism development.
Methods:
• Case studies of destinations impacted by climate-induced disasters
• Comparative review of existing disaster risk management / action plans.
• Surveys/interviews of tourism enterprises regarding preparedness / responses.
Expected Outcomes:
• Identification of gaps in disaster preparedness for tourism.
• Strong resilience and response framework for tourism stakeholders.
• Strategic guidelines for prospective adaptation to climate risk in future tourism development.

Project 3:
Title:
Description & Research Gap:
Objectives:
• To understand how higher temperatures and extreme weather events will affect sports tourism.
• To identify sports events and infrastructure at risk.
• To make recommendations for the consideration of mitigating actions for the sustainability of sports-related tourism.
Methods:
• Conducting spatial analysis using GIS techniques to identify the climate exposure of major sports tourism sites around the world.
• Using climate models to assess the risk to sports tourism spaces and events in the future climate.
• Analysis of past sports event disruptions caused by climate variability.
Expected Outcomes:
• Identified risk maps related to sports tourism hotspots.
• A climate vulnerability index for sports tourism.
• Recommendations for event planners on sustainable actions while operating in a climate-change situation.
