Ecotourism is often suggested as a strategy for conservation and economic development and is growing in popularity worldwide. However, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change recognizes that one of the greatest dangers to tourism is climate change, and indigenous ecotourism operations in developing countries are particularly at risk. To sustain themselves in the future, ecotourism operations must be resilient to shifting tourism demand from climate-related changes to the natural and cultural resources that draw visitors. This study adds to the dearth of literature on ecotourism and climate adaptation in the Global South and helps to fill the gap in current research on ecotourism adaptation at the organizational level. Specifically, the goal of this multi-phased research project was to document potential changes to tourism demand and assess community adaptive capacity in an effort to build climate readiness within a community-based mountain ecotourism organization in southern Mexico. Results from a visitor survey indicate that tourists were more likely to change their plans under more extreme climate scenarios and that natural beauty, biodiversity, and culture are the top three pull factors to the study area, making the area extremely vulnerable to climate change impacts. Results from semi-structured, in-depth interviews and observations of community members, analyzed using an Actor-Network Theory lens, indicate that while the communities have a medium to high level of social capital, out-migration is jeopardizing the lifestyle and culture of the people left behind. While climate change will play an important role in the future of the ecotourism organization, out-migration poses a more immediate, and perhaps larger, threat to the community resilience. As this study is rooted in pragmatism, results from the quantitative and qualitative studies were shared with the communities in participatory workshops to co-create an adaptation plan to enhance climate readiness within the ecotourism organization.
