“…As the socioeconomic and practical needs of tourism industry demanded, more and more studies oriented lately towards different destinations as a whole estimating climate change impact on different types of tourism activities, destinations or regions within a national level (e.g. CLAVIER, 2008;Sebek, 1990;Hein, Metzger & Moreno, 2009;Dincă, Surugiu and Micu, 2009;Surugiu, Frenţ, Surugiu, & Dincă, 2012;Peric, Jurdana & Grdic, 2013;Ge, Dai, Liu, Zhong & Liu, 2013).…”

Abstract:Less approached by scientific literature, stakeholder perspective on the effects of climate change for tourism activities is a very actual topic. As an essential part of the complex study of climate -tourism relationship, it needs to be investigated and illustrated through study cases. The present paper approaches this original topic for Vatra Dornei complex spa and mountain resort. Located in the northern part of Romanian Carpathians this destination depends to a great extent on climate resources which show a clear variability of main parameters on which its outdoor activities are based. In this context the voice of stakeholders involved in the local tourism industry is of great importance to certify and illustrate previously obtained modelling evidences. The present paper consequently outlines the main results of a survey undertaken on the topic of climate change effects on tourism in Vatra Dornei in the attempt to better characterize this complex interrelationship.

“…Due to the fast pace of climate change, and the need for an adequate response from the tourism sector [93][94][95], it is sensible to perform a trend analysis on our wind statistics and get a glimpse of expected changes in the availability of wind resources [96]. Although the time span in this study is somewhat shorter than the 30-year period required for the calculation of climate normals by the World Meteorological Organization [97], the trends in some locations are statistically significant (p < 0.05).…”

Windsports (e.g., windsurfing, kiteboarding) can contribute to important tourist experiences at destinations with suitable natural resources. In the context of future tourism decarbonization, it is expected that many distant locations will become less accessible to Europeans, which will increase the attractiveness of nearby destinations. This study provides an analysis of the natural resources of European and nearby windsport destinations, which proves to be important physical evidence for windsport experiences. The high-frequency output of a long-term, high-resolution numerical atmospheric reanalysis (COSMO_REA6) was thoroughly analyzed using a method specifically tailored to windsports. This gives us unprecedented insight into the geographical distribution of wind resources in the period from May to September. The wind and temperature analysis recognizes the most known windsport locations and identifies several potential locations for possible windsport development. The trend analysis identifies potential changes in future wind conditions. Detailed wind analyses are of great importance to destination managers and marketers, as these could support strategic planning at the destination level, which is necessary for sustainable development. Furthermore, the study can guide windsurfers and kiteboarders in their future destination choices.

“…In terms of emission reduction policies, tourism transport has been one of many concerns, with a focus on changing the consumption behavior and pattern of tourists (Peric, Jurdana, & Grdic, 2013), improving low carbon awareness and choosing low emission vehicles (Dickinson, Robbins, & Lumsdon, 2010). The development of a "slow travel" conceptual framework has a demonstrable effect on the practice of sustainable tourism (Lumsdon, & MeGrath, 2011).…”

Carbon emissions from the tourism industry are an important measure of the impact tourism has on the environment. Previous studies are predominantly focused on the static estimation of carbon emission from tourism transport. The effective estimation and analysis of carbon emission flows from self-driving tourism, and it's related determinants, has become increasingly important. Using expressway traffic flow data at the level of toll-gate across Jiangsu Province in China, 2014, this paper has estimated the carbon emission flows from self-driving tourism between counties, analyzed the spatial patterns of its inflow, outflow and net flows, and modelled the determinants of these flows globally and locally using the geographically weighted regression method. The spatial distribution of these flows show high concentration in the South, gradually decreasing to the North. The two geographically weighted regression models demonstrate that the determinants of both inflows (the per capita gross domestic product. and the scenic spot's score) and outflows (the per capita and total population of permanent residents) indicate spatial non-stationarity across Jiangsu province. The flow perspective and geographically weighted regression methods used in this paper have been proven to be effective in theoretical understanding and methodogical analysis of carbon emission trading. It is concluded that the spatial variation of these determinants has provided important evidence for carbon emission trading at county level. This suggests that local governments should take the variations of per capita gross domestic product, score of attractive spots and total population of permanent residents into the process of estimating carbon emission trading between counties.
