This paper uses monthly data from April 2005 to August 2013 for Taiwan to propose a novel tourism indicator, namely the Tourism Conditions Index (TCI). TCI accounts for the spillover weights based on the Granger causality test and estimates of the multivariate BEKK model for four TCI indicators to predict specific tourism and economic environmental indicators for Taiwan. The foundation of the T...

This paper addresses climate change related issues that may affect the long term sustainable management of terrestrial and marine tourism protected areas in Cairns, Australia. The resiliency of tourism in areas vulnerable to climate change stands to be significantly affected by economic and societal trade-offs that may need to be made to protect valuable local-global resources for future genera...

This study presents an assessment of climate suitability for outdoor leisure activities in Romania using the Holliday Climate Index (HCI) near future (2021–2040), focusing on unfavorable and good conditions. The analysis employs data from ensemble model simulations context RCP4.5 RCP8.5 change scenarios. results indicate that number days with low weather is decreasing almost entire country, esp...

Tourism is regarded to be the world's largest industry, with about 8% of the worldwide export value of goods and services coming from tourism. Receipts from international tourism are in the order of US$ 475 billion (2000 values). These benefits resulting from international travel can be weighted against the environmental costs of tourism, including the loss of biodiversity, ecosystems, land, an...

Tourism activities are highly dependent on climatological conditions. The suitability of tourism destinations is investigated by using a Climate Index (TCI) that frequently used researchers. TCI varies between 0 and 100 created temperature, relative humidity, sunshine duration, wind precipitation data. For TCI, for ideal extremely unfavorable conditions tourism. In this study, the meteorologica...
