Abstract
El turismo de última oportunidad presenta una paradoja intrínseca: aunque ofrece a los visitantes la posibilidad de experimentar destinos turísticos amenazados por su desaparición, también intensifica los impactos en estos lugares, lo que potencialmente acelera su degradación. Estos destinos, a menudo asociados con áreas naturales, no solo sufren los efectos del cambio climático sobre el paisaje y la biodiversidad, sino que también generan un impacto significativo en los pueblos indígenas y las comunidades locales, afectando negativamente los aspectos socioculturales. El objetivo de este estudio fue identificar y mapear los sitios turísticos en riesgo de desaparecer. Para ello, se adoptó un enfoque metodológico exploratorio, complementado con el mapeo sistemático de la literatura científica, de naturaleza mixta, que incluyó análisis cuantitativo y cualitativo. Los resultados revelaron que la mayoría de los estudios se centran en destinos turísticos en regiones glaciales directamente relacionadas con la intensificación del calentamiento global. Sin embargo, pocos estudios abordan los efectos antropogénicos, como las amenazas a destinos y atracciones predominantemente naturales. Además, se observó que existen pocas publicaciones provenientes de países y regiones del Sur Global afectados por crisis ambientales. Finalmente, se espera que esta investigación contribuya con el debate sobre la turistificación de espacios vulnerables y los límites éticos implicados en su promoción e incentivo a la visitación.
