As climate change transforms the physical space of the coast, the tourism space will also be transformed. This will change how tourism and tourists interact in coastal space and alter the fragile cohabitation and resilience of many coastal land uses. The chapter will address the question of the (re)production of coastal tourism space in the context of climate change adaptation. It will focus particularly on how local communities can interact with socio-political discourses to either adapt or not, in a resilient mode or not. It will also look at the extent to which resilience planning and resilient adaptation of coastal tourism spaces are contingent on the capitalist accumulation process.

Le présent ouvrage, une version remaniée de La prévision prospective en gestion de Jean Stafford et Bruno Sarrasin, expose des méthodes rigoureuses de présentation et d’analyse des données pour appréhender l’avenir des marchés touristiques, que ce soit à court, à moyen ou à long terme. Il présente comment l’intelligence d’affaires et la veille stratégique, de même que plusieurs méthodes de prévision statistiques, contribuent à l’évaluation des risques et nourrissent la prise de décision. Il permettra aux étudiantes, aux étudiants, aux spécialistes et aux professionnels du domaine du tourisme de recueillir des données valides et, ainsi, d’élaborer des scénarios prospectifs de qualité.

sustainable development. In Madagascar, ecotourism is one of the growth sectors, which fits
into this approach. This renewal of the discourse of donors based on inclusive growth and
sustainable development has, conversely, the same foundations as the "Washington Diagnosis
on Natural Resources" which puts the rural poor as the cause of environmental degradation
and problems associated to it. Based on heterodox international political economy approach
developed by Susan Strange, this paper aims to analyze the evolution of the development
model implemented in Madagascar, with a particular focus on the place given to tourism.
variety of animal and plant species makes the region environmentally unique. A National
Park has been created to protect this fragile environment. However, several actors play a key
role in this process of preservation with interests often divergent with those of the Park.
Among these actors, many tourists attracted by the beauty of the landscape and the beaches
do not hesitate in summer to take full advantage of environmental amenities at the expense of
conservation objectives. This article shows that the success of a sustainable tourism
development strategy is based on a supply management in line with demand.
After almost three decades of conflicts, Cambodia has initiated important social, economic and political changes at the end of the 1980s. Absent from the political plateform and public life for 20 years, tousim has emerged in the early 1990s as a development priority for the country. Considering the international pressure to balance conservation and development, ecotourism is fast becoming one of the preferred governmental strategies in rural areas. Through a perspective borrowed from political economy, the objective of this chapter is to look at the relationships tourism and ecotourism maintain with the general development model applied in Cambodia. We use interviews with key informants and examples from specific protected areas to show that ecotourism currently reinforces existing power structures. Moreover, two additional issues are worth mentionning: 1) the come back of strict conservation measures; 2) the uneven power sharing between stakeholders and limited capacity to manage projects on the long run. Owing to that context, ecotourism allows those already having some power to continue to influence the development model in the country.
