“…Statistical models, including multiple linear regressions, have examined the effect of weather on visitation numbers at tourist attractions [50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59] and econometric models have estimated tourism-climate demand functions based on international tourism arrivals data at both a regional [60][61][62] and global scale [63,64]. Researchers have also observed tourists' in situ behavioral response to weather conditions (e.g., via webcams) [65][66][67] and have surveyed tourists directly about their preferred climatic conditions [25,29,38,42,[68][69][70][71][72][73][74].…”

“…Studies have shown that preferences vary based on the type of tourism environment or activity (e.g., beach, urban, mountain) [38,42,70,71,74], as well as interpersonal factors, such as socio-demographics (e.g., age, family status, gender) [38,70,75] and climatic region of origin [29,42,73]. The importance of psychological factors, including perceived control and expectations, can also significantly influence how tourists evaluate outdoor environments.…”

“…Weather and climate are important external factors that influence this process from the initial motivation to travel [7,25], to the timing and destination selected [7,[26][27][28][29][30], to the overall travel experience itself [31][32][33][34][35]. While there has been much progress in understanding the significance of climatic resources for tourism demand, our knowledge of how tourists evaluate climatic resources, particularly those conditions that trigger a behavioral response, remains incomplete [36][37][38][39].…”

Comparison of Climate Preferences for Domestic and International Beach Holidays: A Case Study of Canadian Travelers

Abstract:Coastal tourism is the largest segment of global leisure tourism and it is firmly linked to the destination's natural resources-with climatic resources chief among them. Through observations and survey responses of beach users, studies have evaluated climatic resources for coastal tourism by quantifying optimal and unacceptable conditions. However, these studies have not taken into consideration that different forms of holidays (e.g., daytrips, short trips, main annual holiday, "once-in-a-lifetime" trip) may have varying degrees of resilience to climatic conditions. This is the first study to explore whether ideal and unacceptable climatic conditions vary between domestic and international tourists. Using an in situ survey, Canadian beach users traveling domestically (n = 359) and internationally (n = 120) were examined. Key findings include statistically significant differences (p ď 0.05) between the two sample groups for every climate variable, with the international sample more resilient to a broader range of weather conditions, including a greater acceptance for warm temperatures, longer rainfall durations, higher wind speeds, and greater cloud cover. This study adds further insight into the complexities of evaluating climate for tourism, with implications for the demand response of tourists to climate change.

RESUMENEl presente trabajo tiene por objeto dar a conocer una primera aproximación inédita sobre las preferencias climáticas para la práctica del senderismo en España. Para ello se ha puesto en práctica la técnica de la encuesta, procedimiento de uso habitual en climatología turística. El cuestionario se ha elaborado teniendo en cuenta el marco teórico y metodológico en climatología turística, basado en la influencia de las facetas atmosféricas en el disfrute, confort, salud y riesgo de los turistas. Los resultados reflejan ciertas particularidades en las preferencias climáticas de quiénes practican el senderismo sobre otras actividades turísticas. En futuros trabajos se pretende seguir ahondando en el conocimiento de la relación clima-senderismo.

“…Also, there are tourists that still want to travel to regions where they expect resources other than the weather. For example, Moreno (2010) found that almost three-quarters of visitors from Belgium and the Netherlands questioned would still travel to the Mediterranean Sea region even if their self-defined preferred climatic conditions existed in northern Europe. For some people, certain destinations appeal for reasons largely unaffected by climate change, including uniqueness, travel time, standard and cost of accommodation, perceived safety and security, existing facilities, services, access, and host hospitality (Hall 2005).…”

North Sea Region Climate Change Assessment

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Tourism is one of the most highly climate-sensitive economic sectors. Most of its main sub-sectors, including sun-and-beach tourism and nature-based tourism, play a major role in the North Sea region and are especially weather-und climate-dependent. On top of that, most tourist activities in the North Sea region occur in the coastal zones which are highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. Climate acts as both a 'push' and 'pull' factor in tourism. Climate-driven changes in tourism demand are hard to determine because the tourist decision-making process is also influenced by factors other than climate. Nevertheless, summer tourism in the North Sea region is expected to benefit from rising temperatures (air and water), decreasing precipitation and longer seasons. Destinations can reduce the negative impacts of climate change on tourism by adapting to the changes. The tourist industry also contributes to climate change. Not only is the tourist industry affected by climate change, it also contributes to climate change itself. Therefore, mitigating the climate effects of tourism is largely the responsibility of politicians, the tourism industry and tourism supply. Despite some negative impacts, the overall consequences of climate change for tourism in the North Sea region are expected to be positive.
