Black Sea As A New Maritime Tourism Destination

This study examined how the effects of climate change may shape coastal and maritime tourism in the Black Sea region through a systematic literature review method. The research findings show that climate change will significantly affect the Black Sea's essential environmental variables, such as sea level, temperature, humidity, precipitation, and wind. In particular, the annual average sea level increase of 2.5 mm and the expected total rise of 40-60 cm by the end of the century are expected to increase the risk of beach erosion on the Black Sea coast. It was evaluated that the increase in seawater temperature and air temperatures in the region may contribute to the extension of the tourism season; however, the decreasing precipitation and increasing humidity rates may negatively affect the comfort perception of tourists.
