Tourism and climate conditions in San Juan, Puerto Rico, 2000-2010

“…All these climatic changes can affect places/destinations for tourists to visit. Globally, tourists prefer a temperature of 21°C , i.e., average of the hottest month of the year, at their choice of holiday destination (Lise et al 2002). It is highly likely that most of these direct effects of climate change, and their subsequent indirect effects, would have an impact on the Caribbean as well.…”

“…'Pleasant climate' has been defined in other studies as "slightly warm with clear skies or scattered clouds" (de Freitas et al 2008:404) and 'slightly warm' has been defined as temperatures around 21˚C (Lise and Tol 2002). Of course, comfort and what is perceived as 'pleasant climate' go well beyond temperature and cloud cover to include humidity, precipitation, sunshine duration, and so forth.…”

A Study of Climate Variability and Socioeconomic Impact on Tourism Industry of Nepal

“…However, this study failed to establish any significant impact of average annual temperature on the number of tourists visiting Nepal. A compelling explanation might be that tourists visit Nepal for various types of recreation and changing climate may inhibit certain type of outdoor activities, while facilitating other types (Jones & Scott, 2006;Mendelsohn, 2004;Lise & Tol, 2002). More research using high resolution climate data and advanced economic modeling is needed to derive more precise impact estimates on various types of outdoor activities.…”

“…Such reduction in wildlife recreation activities affect the local economy (Poudel et al, 2016a;Poudel et al, 2016b). Lise and Tol (2002) showed that global warming could alter holiday patterns in Europe by tourists seeking different holiday destinations or travelling at different times of the year. Time series analysis by Burakowski, Wake, Braswell and Brown (2008) found that increased temperature would have negative impacts on winter recreation such as winter skiing and snowmobiling.…”

“It Was Raining All the Time!”: Ex Post Tourist Weather Perceptions

“…Furthermore, thresholds of weather parameters were identified that represented good/bad conditions for tourism. Such studies exist for summer tourism, mainly on a large spatial scale (e.g., countries) and with a temporal resolution of months to seasons (e.g., [12][13][14][15]). For snow-based winter tourism, studies exist with a higher spatial (from sub-national level to individual tourism businesses) and temporal resolution (daily visitation and weather data) (e.g., [16][17][18][19][20]).…”
