Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The natural variability of the climate and anthropogenic climate change are causing extreme atmospheric phenomena and natural disasters that are creating important challenges for the tourism sector.

We welcome contributions to this Special Issue that address the challenges facing the tourism sector regarding extreme weather events. We will also consider theoretical and conceptual reflections on this subject, methodological contributions and the presentation of case studies relating to the impact of extreme weather on tourism activities and tourist destinations; the role of forecasting services, Early Warning Systems and the management of information in reducing the risk of disasters at tourist destinations; the perception of risk by tourists and the effects on their travel behavior; the repercussions of extreme atmospheric events and the way they are managed on the image of tourist destinations, etc.

This study presents an assessment of climate suitability for outdoor leisure activities in Romania using the Holliday Climate Index (HCI) for the near future (2021–2040), focusing on unfavorable and good climate conditions. The analysis employs data from an ensemble of model simulations in the context of RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 climate change scenarios. The results indicate that the number of days with low weather suitability is decreasing in almost the entire country, especially during the warm season, while during the winter and spring, extended regions may be characterized by a higher number of days favorable for outdoor activities than during the current climate. An estimation of the impact of climate change on tourism flux in Romania is further carried out, suggesting that the increasing attractivity of climate conditions may lead to an increased number of tourist overnights in the near future, and this will be more pronounced in rural destinations.

Climate and weather conditions at a destination influence the decision regarding what season and which location tourists might travel to. Assuming that the holiday experiences and satisfaction during their stay are influenced by weather and climate as well, this study investigates the question: does bad weather lead to a higher complaint rate among guests who booked vacation rentals? To answer this question, the complaint behavior and the weather parameters temperature, precipitation, wind speed and humidity are examined. The correlations between weather and complaining behavior are proven using the four-field coefficient. The chi-square four-field test is used to subsequently test independence. As a result, a correlation between the weather parameters and complaints cannot be proven based on the applied methods and used data. The four-field coefficient cannot confirm a correlation, as it is close to zero for all four weather parameters. For further investigations, more complaint data are required to obtain more significant results. Full article
