Cheryl van Adrichem

Cheryl van Adrichem serves as a Lecturer and PhD Candidate in the Cultural Geography Group at Wageningen University & Research, where she specializes in the intersection of tourism and climate change. Her research focuses on examining the complex relationship between tourism transportation, particularly aviation, and its environmental impact, while exploring sustainable pathways for future travel under climate change constraints. As part of the Cultural Geography teaching staff, she contributes to tourism education through various courses, including the MOOC "The Future of Tourism," which helps tourism professionals navigate disruptions like climate change and changing consumer preferences. Her work addresses critical questions about tourism sustainability transitions and carbon management, particularly focusing on the industry's dependency on aviation and potential adaptation strategies. Through her teaching and research, she aims to bridge the gap between tourism development and climate change mitigation, contributing to the broader discourse on sustainable tourism futures.
