Sector of tourism, as well as other sectors sensitive to climate changes, requires certain measures of mitigation and adaptation to those changes in order to minimise its consequences. This paper analyses two-way connection between tourism and climate changes, i.e. influence of the climate on tourism and vice versa, with special attention given to measures of mitigation and adaptation. Adaptation could be defined as process of generation of strategies for adequate dealing with consequences of climate changes, while mitigation of climate changes influences implies changes in social, technical and economy sector in order to reduce GHG emission. For the purpose of adequate implementation of climate changes adaptation and mitigation strategies in the sector of tourism, among other tasks it is necessary to introduce sustainable tourism, which represents branch of economy having minimum influence on environment and local culture, simultaneously supporting profitability, new working places and protection of local ecosystem.
