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.

they also represent spaces that will be strongly affected by climate change. This paper is
based on a multi-conceptualization of space to analyze the representations embedded in
two state discourses : The Tourism Development Strategy for St. Lawrence River and the
Climate Change Adaptation Strategy. Thereafter, the paper discusses how actors 'problematize'
adaptation to climate change in those two discourses, to better understand the similarities
and differences of stakeholder interests, alliances and oppositions to contribute solving
implementation problems.
