description The relationship between climate and tourism is very close, and this connection is even more evident for tourism in coastal areas. The various impacts of climate change have long been obvious in many destinations. In addition, like all sectors, also tourism contributes to the production and emission of greenhouse gases, with devastating consequences for certain areas. Through a case study, this contribution aims to reflect on territories that are disappearing due to climate change combined with excessive tourism. A new form of tourism, known as last chance tourism, has emerged as a result. In recent decades, warming in the Mediterranean has been much faster than in the rest of the world, causing serious territorial and economic consequences. Entire areas traditionally dedicated to tourism today have to deal with a drastic decrease in the number of tourists or, in some cases, an excessive increase in them to visit places with an uncertain future..
