Abstract: | Climate is an important resource for tourism and must be taken into account in tourism promotions. Here, a climate leaflet
containing climatological and bioclimatological information for tourists is presented. The bioclimatological conditions are
portrayed using mean values and frequency of thermal sensation based on physiologically equivalent temperature for 10-day
intervals covering the whole year, along with air and sea temperature, sunshine duration, amount and number of days with precipitation
and wind roses. In addition, the Climate Tourism Information Scheme is included. When combined with climatological and bioclimatological conditions, this scheme is valuable for tourists as
it enables them to choose the most suitable time period for holidays, with the choice depending on personal preferences and
requirements. The information provided here assists the tourism industry and stakeholders in decision-making. As an example,
the bioclimatological leaflet for Hvar, an island off the Croatian Adriatic coast, is presented. |
