This manuscript provides information for replicating the Coasting agent-based model presented in “Simulating emerging coastal tourism vulnerabilities: an agent-based modelling approach”. The model description follows the Overview, Design Concepts, and Details + Human Decision-making (ODD+D) protocol. Moreover, this paper includes implementation details on global sensitivity analysis and scenario discovery. Finally, we provide supplementary tables and figures for scenario discovery results not included in the main paper.Highlights: • Model description for simulating emerging environmental vulnerabilities in a coastal tourism context • Coasting’s design facilitates model adaptations to other coastal tourism destinations • Implementation details for applying global sensitivity analysis and scenario discovery to vulnerability assessments
