Abstract

The research sought to determine the degree to which mitigation and adaptation methods are being used to address the consequences of climate change and their influence on marine tourist activities in the Gulf of Aqaba. To accomplish the study objectives, a quantitative approach was utilized to gather data. This was done through the distribution of a survey form to a deliberate sample of (213) faculty members from the faculties of tourism and hotels, arts and sciences, the Department of Science and Environment, as well as a group of specialists focused on climate change. Additionally, a group of diving and water sports trainers in the Gulf of Aqaba were included. The study's findings highlight a significant issue: there is a notable absence of authorized strategies to mitigate and adapt to the impacts of climate change on the marine ecosystem in the Gulf of Aqaba area. The study's findings suggest many key suggestions, with the most significant being the need to bolster the use of renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power, in the area. Additionally, it is crucial to conduct initiatives aimed at rehabilitating damaged marine habitats, including coral reefs.
