“…It is Mieczkowski [23] that firstly devised a TCI (Tourism Climate Index) as a composite measure of tourist activities. Mainly due to its integration of three climatic facets (thermal, physical, and aesthetic) and the characters of widespread suitability and applicability, it has been used to assess a destination's current conditions and potential [41][42][43] and examine future climatic conditions [44][45][46][47]. However, TCI has many deficiencies such as coarse temporal resolution (1 month), lacking the overriding effect of physical variables (wind and rain), neglecting the subjectivity of the thresholds, and weather-sensitive activities [26,48].…”

The evaluation of climate comfort for tourism can provide information for tourists selecting destinations and tourism operators. Understanding how climate conditions for tourism evolve is increasingly important for strategic tourism planning, particularly in rapidly developing tourism markets like China in a changing climate. Multidimensional climate indices are needed to evaluate climate for tourism, and previous studies in China have used the much criticized “climate index” with low resolution climate data. This study uses the Holiday Climate Index (HCI) and daily data from 775 weather stations to examine interregional differences in the tourist climate comfortable period (TCCP) across China and summarizes the spatiotemporal evolution of TCCP from 1981 to 2010 in a changing climate. Overall, most areas in China have an “excellent” climate for tourism, such that tourists may visit anytime with many choices available. The TCCP in most regions shows an increasing trend, and China benefits more from positive effects of climate change in climatic conditions for tourism, especially in spring and autumn. These results can provide some scientific evidence for understanding human settlement environmental constructions and further contribute in improving local or regional resilience responding to global climate change.

“…It is used to assess the suitability of specific climates for general tourism activities such as sightseeing and shopping. TCI is currently the most widely used comprehensive index for evaluating tourism climate [37][38][39]. Based on a literature review, Scott et al (2016) adjusted the weighting and threshold criteria for the meteorological elements in TCI and developed the Holiday Climate Index (HCI) to more accurately assess the climatic suitability of leisure tourism destinations [39,40].…”

Climate change and its fluctuations exert significant impacts on the tourism industry, particularly through the influence of high temperatures as typical meteorological and climatic factors on tourists’ travel intentions, spatial behavior preferences, and destination choices. This study employs China as a case study to investigate the effects of high-temperature weather on tourism and tourist travel. By analyzing news reports, conducting observations, and examining statistics, an exploratory analysis of tourism in China under high-temperature scenarios reveals several noteworthy findings. Firstly, tourists seeking relief from the summer heat exhibit a preference for short-distance trips and destinations rich in natural resources. Secondly, heat-escape tourism products have gradually transformed over time, evolving from mountain heat escapes in the 1980s to waterfront vacations in the 1990s, artificial water leisure in the 2000s, and ultimately culminating in the development of heat-escape cities in the 2010s. Additionally, this study examines interregional disparities in summer tourism climate amenity across China using the Holiday Climate Index (HCI), the Tourism Climate Index (TCI), and daily data from 775 weather stations. It also provides a summary of the spatiotemporal evolution from 1961 to 2020 within the context of climate change, revealing intriguing findings. Moreover, a case study of Shanghai Disneyland demonstrates the greater significance of the holiday system compared to temperature constraints. This study aims to examine the interaction between high temperatures and China’s tourism in the context of climate change, providing a scientific foundation for government agencies and tourism enterprises to develop effective policies and plans.

Hotspot distribution area is very important to know, in order to anticipate and minimize the risk of fire. The research objective is The Potential Mapping of Land Fires Using SNPP VIIRS. The research used a survey method to collect data. Data processing techniques using ArcGIS software with scoring, overlay and clustering techniques. The highest number of hotspots in South Kalimantan is in Banjar Regency, with 17428 including low confidence (1303), nominal confidence (15444) and high confidence (681). The results of the mapping of existing Fire Potentials can be used as a basis for mitigation actions and providing recommendations for disaster management to reduce the risk of increasing environmental damage in the future.
