“…For example, studies focusing on urban areas (e.g., Chen et al, 2017;McKercher et al, 2015;Falk, 2015;Machete et al, 2014;Falk, 2011) suggest that weather characteristics are of less importance for tourists, although more pronounced weather events like hot days (Kim et al, 2017) or heavy or prolonged rain (Dubois et al, 2016) may affect the tourist satisfaction. Also, for urban areas, poor air quality may decrease tourism demand (Ma et al, 2022;Robaina et al, 2020). On the contrary, for rural destinations, weather is a more important determinant of tourist's behavior and air temperature and sunshine duration are of importance for tourists in these destinations (Falk, 2015); also, during warm season, increasing of high (extreme) temperature may have a negative impact on tourist inflow, especially for domestic tourism as shown by (Cai et al, 2011) for the case of Tuscany.…”

The scientific literature comprises a relatively large palette of studies focusing on tourist preferences regarding the weather and climate at the destination. However, the findings do not allow for establishing a hierarchy of climate and environmental features of interest for tourism based on destination type (urban/rural/mountain/seaside), but mainly to list them. We aim to identify some characteristics of a potential climate service targeting tourists by addressing in particular three aspects: 1. which are the weather, climate and/or environmental features most commonly marked as of interest in the general case of 'any destination type' and for the particular case of rural destinations; 2. which are the delivery and presentation forms of greatest interest; 3. how willing would be the tourists to pay for such a service. To this end, we used a questionnaire with five closed questions regarding these aspects, disseminated in Romania and Italy. The results confirm some expectations based on scientific literature and highlight the user interest in information encompassing several climates and/or environmental aspects, preferably in one single product. The results may be valuable for developing and providing effective tourism-oriented climate and environmental products and contribute to a better user uptake of such products and services.

Most of the current studies on carbon emission reduction have been focusing on the urban and industrial levels, overlooking policy assessment studies on the carbon emissions of construction enterprises in the Yangtze River Economic Belt (YREB). To explore the impact of smart city policy (SCP) on the carbon emissions of construction enterprises, this paper constructs a theoretical framework model for evaluating SCP based on the Political-Economic-Sociocultural-Technological-Environmental-Legal (PESTEL) model and the perspective of the pollution halo hypothesis. In addition, this paper adopts panel data of 110 cities covered by the YREB from 2004 to 2021 and verifies the SCP impact mechanism on the carbon emissions of construction enterprises in the YREB through the difference-in-differences (DID) method, the propensity score matching (PSM) method, and the analysis of mediating effects and moderating effects. The conclusions are as follows: (1) the SCP significantly curbs the carbon emissions of the construction enterprises in the YREB pilot cities; (2) the SCP has a regional qualitative effect on the carbon emissions of the construction enterprises in the YREB and it curbs the carbon emissions of the construction enterprises in the upstream and downstream regions; (3) R&D and FDI are important transmission mechanisms; and (4) new urbanization construction has a positive moderating effect on the carbon emission reduction effect of the SCP on construction enterprises. As a research precedence, this paper reveals for the first time the mechanism of the SCP on the carbon emissions of construction enterprises in the YREB through the lens of the PESTEL model and the pollution halo hypothesis; the paper not only enriches the research related to urban policies but also provides new evidence from Chinese construction enterprises for assessing the impacts of pilot cities.
