Photographer captures grim reality of 'last chance tourism'
from Culture 101
As global warming continues, many parts of the world including natural wonders and island countries are at risk of damage or disappearing. This has led to a trend of ‘last chance tourism’ where travellers visit areas threatened by climate change - before it’s too late. Ironically, the more tourists visit these areas, the more widespread the climate crisis becomes, which again fuels ‘last chance tourism’.
