“…Results presented in the study at hand, however, show a way to transfer information about climate to sophisticated and comprehensive, but simple, graphs for tourism purposes. The combination of analyzing a thermal index like PET, as well as individual meteorological parameters like precipitation, and combining both into one information scheme is a promising approach that can be applied for various climates and regions while being useful to decision-makers and planners [1,5,8,15,16]. The CTIS approach can, therefore, be applied to different destinations while always considering the most relevant parameters for the specific location.…”

“…Furthermore, the relevant parameters themselves will vary as, e.g., tourists or attendees of winter sport events will prefer snow, while others, e.g., attending events in hot and dry climates, prefer to avoid heat stress. The selection of parameters and thresholds is thus based on the target region or event and should be adjusted to different climate regions and cultures [1,5,8].…”

“…Recent research has often focused on quantifying the effect of strategies counteracting the local effect of global climate change (e.g., [7]). Interdisciplinary approaches are required to assess the effects on tourism (e.g., [8]).…”

“…The interactions between weather, climate, and tourism are well known and have been previously described [5,[7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. Growing attention has recently been paid mostly to sustainable tourism (e.g., [7]) but Atmosphere 2019, 10, 572 2 of 9 less to specific events and the effect on athletes and visitors [1,15].…”

“…The result can be considered as an assessment of thermal perception [17]. The aesthetical, as well as physical, facet can be analyzed by the assessment of individual meteorological parameters, e.g., the daily sunshine duration [8][9][10].…”

Detailed climate information in an easily interpretable form is demanded by the general public, as well as by decision-makers on different planning levels. One example is the group of planners in the field of sports and tourism. A promising approach is the visualization of climate thresholds in a Climate-Tourism/Transfer-Information Scheme (CTIS) for the prevailing local climate conditions. The presented approach is adaptable to specific destinations and target activities and integrates meteorological, as well as recreational, touristic and specific activity-related parameters and thresholds. All parameters are simplified in terms of factors and combined in one individual graph, the CTIS diagram. The detailed information on local climate can be applied by non-experts like tourists intending to attend a sports event. They are able to prepare for different aspects of the local climate by, e.g., selecting appropriate clothing when planning their stay. The example of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games is presented and discussed. Results show that heat stress together with sultriness is likely to occur during the scheduled time of the Olympics, while cold stress will most probably not be relevant.
