Tourism climatology: past, present, and future.

Tourism climatology past and present: A review of the role of the ISB commission on climate, tourism and recreation. While in the emergent phase of tourism climatology, a majority of studies were either strong in climatology or tourism leading to a rather one-dimensional representation of this complex system and its interrelationships. Special issue papers Among the most-studied research areas in the tourism climatology literature is snow sports tourism, which is understandable given its reliance on climatic resources (i.e., low temperatures, snowfall) and thereby high vulnerability to climate change (Steiger et al. [28]). Moving forward From inception, the CCTR has sought to bring together scientists and tourism experts to review the current state of knowledge of tourism climatology, while exploring future areas of inquiry by supporting multi- and interdisciplinary collaborations.
