Climatic Elements

This article assesses climatic conditions for tourism by using Tourism Climate Index - TCI, published by Mieczkowsk (1985). This is an experimental synthetic climatic index that evaluates simultaneously the influence of 7 climatic elements as maximum average temperature (oC), minimum average humidity (%), average temperature (oC), average humidity (%), the number of sunny hours, windy speed of Con Dao island. The results of TCI within 12 months in Con Dao island compare to “Classification of advantageous levels of climate for tourism” of TCI (Mieczkowsk, 1985) which shows the advantages of Con Dao for relaxation tourism all year round. The period from December to April is the most favourable time for tourism activities in Con Dao because the TCI index reaches from Good to Very good, while the suitable time is from May to November, due to rainfall and high speed of wind during the rainy season.

Climate Comfort

Tourism has become one of the sectors which are the mainstay source of foreign exchange in Indonesia. One of the region which has tourism potential is Samosir District at North Sumatra Province. Climatic conditions affect the tourist comfortability while doing the tourism activity. Studies on climate comfort in Toba Lake Region, especially in Samosir District have not been done. Way to determine the level of comfort associated with tourism activities are known to the Tourism Climate Index (TCI). This research aims to determine the level of climate comfort tourist destinations in Samosir District based on the value of TCI and knowing the relation between TCI value with the number of visits a tourist destination.

Tourism Climate

Tourism is one of the spearhead economic sectors of every country in the world and sensitive to weather conditions. The climate is one of the most important factors for each destination for vacation and recreation. Almost the measures are primarily based on particular local weather and climate, and part of them deals with energy balance estimation to assess thermal comfort. Tourism climate indicator developed by Mieczkowski (1985) incorporates 7 climate variables (average temperature, maximum temperature, average humidity, minimum humidity, precipitation, number of sunny hours, wind speed) relevant to general tourism activities is used to assess potential impacts of climate change on tourism climate resources of Co To islands in the Tonkin Gulf of Vietnam. The monthly tourism climate indicator classification results show that the tourism potentials of Co To islands range from unfavorable (30–39) to very good (70–79) in March, April, November and December. Daily tourism climate indicator classification results indicate that tourism potentials are from extremely unfavorable (20–29) to excellent (80–89). The days at very good to excellent for travel are on 2nd, 3rd, 5–7th of January; 6–8th and 20–28th of February; 1st–8th, 12–17th and 20–28th of March; 1st–2nd,4–13th, 15–18th of April; 21st–24th of September; 1st–4th, 6th, 8–10th, 12th, 13th of November; 1st–26th of December. These findings are important for future research in assessing current and future climate suitability for sustainable tourism development.

The paper presents basic information concerning bioclimatic conditions in Łódź based on the Tourism Climate Index (TCI). The index makes it possible to assess in a comprehensive manner, based on specified meteorological parameters, the climatic conditions affecting the development of tourism. The study uses measurements from the weather station, Łódź-Lublinek, taken in the years 1966-2014. The TCI values have a distinct annual pattern with the highest values recorded in summer. The summer season has the highest frequency of days with ‘very good’ or ‘excellent’ conditions for tourism. An assessment of the variability of bioclimatic conditions indicates an increase in the number of days with high TCI values pointing to ‘very good’ or ‘excellent’ conditions for tourism and recreation.

El clima es un factor que condiciona las prácticas turístico-recreativas en espacios al aire libre. El bienestar y confort térmico constituyen exigencias del visitante susceptibles de evaluarse mediante la faceta térmica del clima. Este trabajo se aplica a Puerto Iguazú, un destino de clima subtropical húmedo. El mismo está estructurado con base en dos objetivos, por un lado, comparar tres índices bioclimáticos: Complejo Termo-anemométrico (P), Complejo Termo-higrométrico (THI) y Humidex (H), versus un índice climático-turístico: Tourism Climate Index (TCI) a fin de establecer cuál ofrece un mejor ajuste a la realidad estudiada. Por otro, a fin de generar información con mayor grado de detalle, se busca conocer el comportamiento en resolución horaria del P y H. El cálculo de los índices a nivel mensual (P, THI, H y TCI) se realizó con base en las estadísticas climatológicas de la estación Iguazú Aero para el período 1981-2010, proporcionadas por el Servicio Meteorológico Nacional. Los índices P y H en resolución horaria se calcularon a partir de datos meteorológicos de la misma estación para el período 2001-2010, obtenidos del sitio Meteomanz.com. Los resultados obtenidos muestran que la componente termo-higrométrica es la de mayor peso en el destino analizado, lo cual es coherente con sus características climáticas. La aplicación de los índices permitió determinar los momentos del año y horas del día más benignas para la realización de prácticas turístico-recreativas al aire libre.

Tourism Arrivals

Through an empirical investigation of the historical relationship between the destination climate and tourist arrivals in the Caribbean, this study presents the first revealed preference evaluation of a climate index informed by tourists’ stated climatic preferences for coastal-beach tourism (i.e., a sun-sand-surf or 3S travel market). The goal of this multi-organization collaboration was to examine the potential application of a newly designed climate index—the Holiday Climate Index (HCI):Beach—for three Caribbean destinations (Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Saint Lucia). This paper provides an overview of the evolution of climate indices, including the development of the (HCI):Beach. To test the validity of climate indices for a beach travel market, daily climate ratings based on outputs from the Tourism Climate Index and the HCI were correlated with monthly arrivals data from Canada (a key source market) at an island destination scale. The results underscore the strength of the new index, with each destination scoring consistently higher using the HCI:Beach, including a stronger relationship (R2) between index scores and tourist arrivals. These findings demonstrate the value of combining stated and revealed preference methodologies to predict tourism demand and highlight opportunities for future research.
