An evaluation of the tourist potential of the climate in Catalonia (Spain) : a regional study

Auteur :
GÓMEZ MARTÍN, M.B.

Description :
This study of the spatial and temporal variations of the climate-tourist potential in Catalonia is based on the classification of daily weather situations according to the main combinations of climatic variables in the study area, and is adjusted to reflect bioclimatic criteria and tourist perceptions. The results reveal major differences in the climate-tourist aptitudes of the region and, in general, a high tourist potential. However, the tourist aptitudes of the Catalan climates are not fully exploited by planning in this sector.
