Abstract

Tourists may experience climatic conditions quite different to what they are used to, that can affect their physiological well-being. The Acclimatization Thermal Strain Index for Tourism quantifies the physiological cost of the acclimatization process. To demonstrate its utility, travel between contrasting climates is examined. Index is shown to be a useful indicator and demonstrates the potential adjustment cost in acclimatization cannot be reliably determined from a straightforward comparison of climatic conditions. The information is useful because climatic resources contribute significantly to tourists’ decision-making processes, affecting where and when tourists travel.
