dc.description.abstract	Water resource management has long been a vital component of sustainable development. At destinations where tourism is among the largest economic sectors, a remarkable increase in water consumption could draw challenges to environmental and social assets. The complex relationship between tourism, water and community has yet to be explored. This study attempts to explore the complex nexus between tourism, water resources, and destination community. It builds on the assumption of various climate change scenarios to impacts and reactions to stakeholders within the nexus. This study aims to answer (1) who are the water stress and conflict generators at the selected destinations? (2) What are the geo-political and policy discourses on water resource rights that shape the tourists' visitation, spending, and behaviors and the local tourism industry? And (3) How could destination policymakers set future water management structures that equally address the water right in fulfilling the needs of multiple stakeholders?
