Tourist Destinations You Should Visit Which Can Disappear Due to Climate Change |

[NOVEMBER FREE REPORT]
Because of climate change's relentless altering of landscapes and destruction of tourist destinations all over the world, it's just a matter of time until travel websites post a doomsday countdown timer next to their holiday packages. The plurality of these areas are badly threatened by rising sea levels, which threaten to wipe out large parts of land. Simultaneously, severe habitat loss depletes other areas' magnificent focal points. Here are four of the world-renowned, magnificent tourist hotspots which might be forever lost to climate change:- Mumbai, India Everyone knows Mumbai, the magnificent coastal city with star-studded beaches and more bling than you can handle in a lifetime. Rising sea levels, along with an increase in the frequency of floods and cyclones, might threaten to convert the City of Dreams into the City of Drowns, burying most of the state's tourist attractions. The famed Marine Drive, the Gateway of India, Mohammed Ali Road (which lights up with vim during Ramadan), and Breach Candy are just a few of the locations we stand to lose. New York's Statue of Liberty, USA The growing frequency of tropical cyclones in the New York Bay area means storm surges that might seriously damage the renowned landmark. Furthermore, sea levels rising four times faster on this coast than on the remainder of the US coastline, making sea erosion of its foundation a real possibility. We can only put so much money into repairs before we have to transfer her somewhere safer. Venice, Italy Venice has become one of the most synchronised cities with romance. Where else would you anticipate enjoying a romantic gondola ride over a city's canals while being serenaded by a singer of sweet Italian songs? You'd be hard pressed to concentrate on the city's romantics if you understood how it suffered behind its enthralling facade. Many of its structures are sinking as a result of climate change and rising sea levels. Only two years ago, more than 80% of the city was submerged – an occurrence that will only grow more regular as sea levels rise globally. According to several projections, the city might be submerged by our oceans as early as 2100. The Republic of the Maldives The Maldives are a romantic getaway that should not be missed, much like Venice. And the same issues that beset our Italian town impact this group of low-lying Indian Ocean islands. The Maldives has long been the ideal honeymoon resort for wealthy couples. It is made up of 1200 white-sand islands that are dispersed over the Indian Ocean like gold coins. Its warm azure oceans, coconut trees, and gleaming coral reefs are nature's paradisiacal antidote to the country's five-star-and-above, no-finger-lifting resorts. According to the World Bank, increasing sea levels might drown the whole country by 2100, while global warming could render 80% of the land uninhabitable. References:- 1. Fahey, D.

Hello, this is your mentor Minkyung.
Thank you for sharing information on the devastation, or even disappearance, of some tourist destinations. I hope others gain awareness of the issue, by reading this report.
Also, I would personally recommend investing more on the monthly theme, if you have a hard time writing a free report. Feel free to ask questions via email or Global Chat anytime.
I'll be looking forward to your next report :)

Hi, Pranav Gaba!
This is your mentor, Yoon.
Thank you for introducing tourist places that could disappear due to climate change. As I have been to Venice and New York's Statue of Liberty, I really hope that these and other places can be protected from the impact of climate change.
I find your article already interesting. If you want to find some good topics, I recommend you to read articles from environmental journals.
Great job on writing the thematic report.
I am looking forward to reading your following report!

Hello! Pranav!
We fully understand your concerns.
It would be great if you could give our mentors a little bit of time to research this and get back to you.
Thanks.

Dear mentors,
Greetings of the day!
Hope you are fine!
I was having a lot busier time than usual lately and which is why I am posting some reports on a later date. I apologize for the inconvenience!
One thing that I wanted to ask is that sometimes while writing free reports I really struggle to find a good topic.
And I feel I should really seek guidance from my mentors on this.
So I would really want to know how to and where to find some good topics to write about from. Please feel free to add whatever suggestions you have in mind.
As always, any of your help would be very valuable to me.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Green Cheers!
