The purpose of this climate change adaptation manual is to provide guidance on how to safeguard Scotland’s heritage tourism sector from the adverse impacts of climate change. As climate change brings more frequent and severe weather events, rising sea levels and temperature fluctuations, heritage tourism faces significant risks. This manual aims to help heritage site managers, tourism operators and other related tourism businesses and organisations understand these risks and implement effective strategies to protect the sector. In doing so, it helps ensure that cultural heritage remains resilient to climate change impacts and continues to attract visitors, supporting both the local economy and cultural continuity.
The manual serves as a resource for integrating climate resilience into the day-to-day operations and long-term planning of the heritage tourism sector. It includes practical guidance on the steps needed to become more resilient to climate change. The goal is to promote a proactive approach to managing climate risks, encourage collaboration among stakeholders and foster innovation. Ultimately, the manual not only aims to protect tourism and build resilience, but also to enhance its adaptive capacity, ensuring that Scotland’s rich history can be appreciated by future generations.
This manual directly contributes to the delivery of the Scottish National Adaptation Plan (SNAP3), which sets out the imperative for adaptation to support all of Scotland’s priorities and deliver multiple co-benefits beyond climate resilience. It supports Objective B1, which seeks to increase business understanding of climate risks and adaptation action, and Objective C5, which highlights the transformational power of culture, heritage and creativity in supporting Scotland’s adaptation journey.
