Short description of the dataset
With "Climate Suitability for Tourism indicators" we refer to a set of bioclimatic indicators designed to assess whether weather or climate conditions are suitable for touristic activities. These indicators are tailored for different kind of touristic activities. In particular, the Holiday Climate Index (HCI) is focused on urban tourism, while the Climate Index for Tourism (CIT) is focused on beach tourism. Both these indicators take into account different climate fields, in order to evaluate climate conditions from a touristic point of view. Different climate facets (precipitation, wind, cloud cover, and temperature) are considered, and to each of them a score is assigned. These scores are then aggregated, resulting in a total rating scale ranging from 0 to 100 for HCI, and from 0 to 7 for CIT (for further details on HCI see Scott et al., 2016; while on TCI see de Freitas et al., 2008). In general, the higher the value of the indicators is, the more suitable for touristic activities climate conditions are. In the framework of C3S European Tourism project, climate projections information is available. Climate projection values, based on Euro-CORDEX projections, are computed both in the historical period and for different future emission scenarios, in order to allow an assessment on how climate change will possibly shape the suitability of climate conditions from a touristic perspective.
