“…Foreign tourists prefer nice, dry, sunny summers. Similar with Bae and Nam (2020) , in Jeju island, even though the tourist demonstrate that typhoon season is in summer and there is substantial snow in the winter is not a problem. But they prefer sunny weather.…”

Included on the World Heritage List in 1991, the Borobudur Temple Compounds have been attracting vast numbers of tourists. To increase the number of incoming tourists even further, tourism climate comfort is one of the key elements that must be considered, as it can affect tourist visiting patterns, as well as tourists' preferences. This study analyzes the level of tourism climate comfort using three different methods, i.e., Tourism Climate Index (TCI), Temperature Humidity Index (THI) and Holiday Climate Index (HCI). It further assesses their sensitivities to observe tourist visitation in Borobudur Temple. The climate data for the timeframe 2010-2019 is obtained from the Automatic Weather Station (AWS) Borobudur. Based on the TCI, we notice that the comfortable months were June to August. By comparison, the THI results showed that the comfortable period began in July and ended in August. Meanwhile, the HCI results showed that the comfortable months were July to October. All monthly indexes obtained by means of the three methods are then evaluated in view of the monthly visitation data. This optimized HCI index demonstrates a high correlation with tourist visitation at Borobudur Temple, especially foreign tourist that more sensitive to the climate. Hence, relative humidity and rainfall have high correlation with the HCI climatic comfort level at Borobudur Temple. This study improves our understanding of the climatic index correlation with the number of visitors at Borobudur Temple and can help advertisers and local authorities make pre-trip climate comfort information and more informed decisions in terms of tourism policies.

“…at five different sites of Jeju Island located at the subtropical zone of the southern part of South Korea. The climate of Jeju Island is affected by Southeast Asian monsoon [ 19 ]. Heavy rainfall derived from the East China Sea and the West Pacific contributes to high levels of humidity in summer.…”

Effect of Isolation Conditions on Diversity of Endolichenic Fungal Communities from a Foliose Lichen, Parmotrema tinctorum

Endolichenic fungi (ELF) are emerging novel bioresources because their diverse secondary metabolites have a wide range of biological activities. Metagenomic analysis of lichen thalli demonstrated that the conventional isolation method of ELF covers a very limited range of ELF, and the development of an advanced isolation method is needed. The influence of four variables were investigated in this study to determine the suitable conditions for the isolation of more diverse ELF from a radially growing foliose lichen, Parmotrema tinctorum. Four variables were tested: age of the thallus, severity of surface-sterilization of the thallus, size of a thallus fragment for the inoculation, and nutrient requirement. In total, 104 species (1885 strains) of ELF were isolated from the five individual thalli of P. tinctorum collected at five different places. Most of the ELF isolates belong to Sordariomycetes. Because each part of lichen thallus (of different age) has unique ELF species, the whole thallus of the foliose lichen is needed to isolate diverse ELF. Moderate sterilization is appropriate for the isolation of diverse ELF. Inoculation of small fragment (1 mm2) of lichen thallus resulted in the isolation of highest diversity of ELF species compared to larger fragments (100 and 25 mm2). Moreover, ELF species isolated from the small thallus fragments covered all ELF taxa detected from the medium and the large fragments in this study. The use of two media—Bold’s basal medium (nutrient poor) and potato dextrose agar (nutrient rich)—supported the isolation of diverse ELF. Among the tested variables, size of thallus fragment more significantly influenced the isolation of diverse ELF than other three factors. Species composition and richness of ELF communities from different lichen thalli differed from each other in this study.

“…More than the air pollution, there are many environment factors such as the Rainfall and Temperature which may be effect on tourism demand. In the case of Rainfall, the number of visitors to Jeju Island was positive effected by the rainfall in Korean tourist (Bae and Nam, 2020). In contrast, there was negative effect of the rainfall on the number of tourist arrivals in the Small Island Developing States (Fauzel, 2019).…”

Air pollution not only affects people's health but also tourism especially in Thailand because it is the most important industry in Thailand. Therefore, this research aims to examine the effects of air pollution on the number of tourists using particulate matter (PM10) data as the proxy for air pollution and the number of tourists staying at accommodation establishments in the province as the agent of the number of tourists (Tourist). Furthermore, the effect of the price of tourism factor represented by the consumer price index (CPI); and the weather factor with indicators such as rainfall (RAIN) and highest temperature (TMAX), on the number of tourists were also considered. The research data were panel form, and the cross-section data were collected from seven significant tourist provinces representing each region with the time series during March 2018 to December 2021. These data were tested for cross-section dependence and the panel unit root test. After that, the long- and short-term relationships were detected by using the panel autoregressive distribution lag (Panel ARDL) model with the pool mean group (PMG). The findings revealed that the increase of PM10, CPI, TMAX and RAIN reduced the number of tourists.
