Climate change is an urgent and significant challenge that presents unforeseen costs. The tourism industry is both a contributor to and a victim of climate change. While concepts such as impact, adaptation, maladaptation, mitigation, and resilience are commonly discussed within this sector, this study takes a unique approach by focusing on a ski resort that has experienced a notable decline. It uses the destination life cycle model to evaluate the downturn of Fethiye Eren Mountain Ski Resort through a case study methodology. The objective is to adapt the temporal dimensions of the destination life cycle model effectively to address the realities of climate change.
