We use an updated and extended version of the Hamburg Tourism Model to simulate the effect of development and climate … change on tourism. Model extensions are the explicit modelling of domestic tourism and the inclusion of tourist expenditures …. We also use the model to examine the impact of sea level rise on tourism demand.
