IN SEARCH OF WARMER CLIMATES? THE IMPACT OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON FLOWS OF BRITISH TOURISTS by David Maddison CSERGE Working Paper IN SEARCH OF WARMER CLIMATES? THE IMPACT OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON FLOWS OF BRITISH TOURISTS

چکیده
This paper investigates the impact of climate change on the chosen destinations of British tourists. Destinations are characterised in terms of ‘attractors’ including climate variables, travel and accommodation costs. These and other variables are used to explain the current observed pattern of overseas travel in terms of a model based upon the idea of utility maximisation. The approach permits the trade-offs between climate and holiday expenditure to be analysed and effectively identifies the ‘optimal’ climate for generating tourism. The findings are used to predict the impact of various climate change scenarios on popular tourist destinations.

Comparison of impact of climate change on building energy-saving design for two different climates; Metropolitans of Moscow and Tehran
In the present study, in order to monitor and project climate change impacts on model of the bioclimatic design, a comparative study was conducted between the Middle East and Eurasia as two different climates. This paper used the basic data from 1990 to 2010, and the CMIP5 climate models have been used to project the climate data (radiation, temperature, wind speed, and relative humidity) from ...

India is the second largest producer of potato in the world. The Indo-Gangeticplains (IGP) is the main potato growing region accounting for almost 85% of the1.8 Mha under the crop in India where it is grown as an irrigated crop during thewinter season. Since IGP is in sub-tropical plains, duration of the thermally suitablewindow is the main determinant limiting yields. Hence the impact of clima...
