Resumen
Last chance tourism presents an intrinsic paradox, while it provides visitors opportunities to experience tourist destinations threatened with disappearance, it also intensifies the impacts on these places, potentially accelerating their degradation. Such destinations, often linked to natural areas, suffer not only from the effects of climate change on the landscape and biodiversity but also have a significant impact on native peoples and local communities, adversely affecting socio-cultural aspects. The aim of this study was to identify and map tourist sites at risk of disappearing. Therefore, an exploratory methodological approach was adopted, complemented by the systematic mapping of scientific literature of a mixed nature, including both quantitative and qualitative analysis. The results revealed that most studies focus on tourist destinations in glacial regions directly related to the intensification of global warming. However, few studies address anthropogenic effects, such as threats to predominantly natural destinations and attractions. Additionally, it was observed that there are few publications from Global South countries and regions impacted by environmental crises. Finally, this study seeks to advance the ongoing debate on the touristification of vulnerable spaces and the ethical limits associated with their promotion and the encouragement of visitation.
