Linking Beach Recreation to Weather Conditions: A Case Study in Zandvoort, Netherlands

Abstract: Beach recreation is one of the most weather-sensitive leisure activities. However, there is a lack of scientific knowledge about how the different weather/climate variables influence beach visitation levels, and the role of other factors such as the hour of the day or the day of the week. This study, carried out during the summer of 2006, uses webcams in combination with real-time weather data as an innovative approach to study the relationship between weather and beach use in Zandvoort, a seaside town in The… Show more

“…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].…”

“…The ratings and weighting of the different facets of climate are to a certain extent based on biometeorological and other literature but also a large portion of expert opinion, which is ultimately subjective. This limitation is currently being addressed by determining preferences with surveys or in situ observations (Moreno et al 2008). Another limitation is that the TCI implicitly assumes that the different facets are independent of each other.…”

“…Es bien conocido que las interrelaciones que se establecen entre el turismo y el clima son variadas y complejas (Becken et al, 2013;Gómez, 2005a;2005b), siendo los condicionantes atmosféricos aspectos clave en la planificación de los destinos turísticos y en la propia experiencia de viaje (Becken, 2010;Hamilton et al, 2005 Desde el punto de vista de la planificación, cabe señalar que el tiempo meteorológico, la variabilidad climática intra e interanual, los fenómenos meteorológicos extremos o el cambio climático son elementos básicos a tener en cuenta en las regionesdestino de los flujos turísticos por la influencia que ejercen en la competitividad y en la sostenibilidad, tanto a corto como a largo plazo. En este sentido, el tiempo meteorológico condiciona, según la mayor o menor sensibilidad de la modalidad turística practicada N° 9, enero-junio 2015, 99-131 105 hacia los elementos atmosféricos, la programación y el normal desarrollo de las actividades turísticas (Gómez y Martínez, 2012;McKercher et al, 2014;Moreno et al, 2008;Shih et al, 2009). Del mismo modo, en los destinos turísticos, la variabilidad climática intra e interanual ejerce un notable influjo en la estacionalidad turística, el abastecimiento de agua, la producción artificial de nieve, el gasto energético o las necesidades de riego o ajardinamiento, por citar tan solo algunos ejemplos (Gómez, 2003;Martínez, 2014;Martínez y Gómez, 2012a;Ridderstaat et al, 2014;Rico et al, 2009).…”

“…A partir de este momento, se incrementa la investigación en las líneas clásicas (Cuadrat, 1983;de Freitas, 1990;de Freitas et al, 2004;Gómez et al, 2002, Mieczkowski, 1985, a la vez que surgen nuevas líneas temáticas que ahondan en la relación del clima/tiempo con la estacionalidad turística (Koenig y Bischoff, 2004), la información y la organización del tiempo libre (de Freitas, 2003;Perry, 1993;Scott y Lemieux, 2010), la imagen de los destinos (Olcina y Vera, 1998) o el comportamiento de los turistas (Martínez, 2010;Moreno et al, 2008). Pero son los estudios de turismo y cambio climático los que empiezan a adquirir relevancia.…”
