Present and future climate potential for tourism development in Mali Lošinj

The climatological study of suitability of present and future local climate for different types of tourist activities has been done for Mali Lošinj. Taking into account the fact that tourism is mainly influenced by thermal state, precipitation, wind and solar radiation climate index for tourism (CIT) is determined on the basis of observed data at meteorological station Mali Lošinj in the period 1981-2010. The future climate potential of tourism is estimated for the period 2021-2050 by using dynamical downscaled data obtained by two different regional climate models and under two IPCC scenarios (RCP4.5 and RCP8.5). The expected changes in the climate condition for different tourist activities will be discussed.
