Abstract

Due to climate change, winter tourism in low mountain ranges faces big challenges. This paper presents the results of a survey which focused on the importance of snow-reliability for the travel decision of tourists in winter times in these regions. The survey could identify that snow-reliability was most important for skiers and snowboarders (together 45 percent of the interviewees), other tourists didn’t place great importance on snow-reliability on their travel decision. With increasing age of the tourists, the importance of snow-reliability decreased and snow-reliability is not crucial for visiting these regions in the future again. Therefore, low mountain ranges can be attractive winter destinations in the future if they adapt their tourism products according to climate change and future customer needs.
