Sažetak
Weather and climate constitute one of the most important natural resource for recreation tourism because during their activities, tourists are affected by atmospheric conditions. Due to its geographical diversity Croatia has the potential for wide range of tourist activities and leisure. Different kinds of tourist activities need different weather requirements. For quantitative estimation of climate potential of different kinds of tourism, climate index for tourism (CIT) is used. CIT integrates thermal, aesthetic and physical facets of atmospheric environment and therefore is suitable for estimation of climate satisfaction that ranges from very poor to very good. The thermal component is estimated using the physiologically equivalent temperature (PET. Changes in climate potential of tourism in Croatia are estimated by changes of climate index for tourism in the two future 30-year periods 2011-2040 and 2041-2070. For future climate, two randomly chosen simulations from the global atmosphere-ocean circulation model ECHAM5-MPIOM under the IPCC emission scenario A2 were downscaled using regional climate model RegCM3. The integration domain covered almost the whole of Europe with the 35-km horizontal resolution.
