FEATURES OF TOURISM DEVELOPMENT IN THE CONTEXT OF CLIMATE CHANGE: SEASONALITY AND MINIMIZATION OF ITS NEGATIVE IMPACT

Abstract

A general trend and at the same time a serious problem in tourism is seasonality, which is characterized by sharp increases in tourist flows in summer and declines in winter, especially in autumn and spring months. Seasonality in tourism is influenced by both climatic and social factors. Climatic factors are primarily due to the fact that in most regions of the globe, weather conditions favorable for recreation and tourism vary by month, therefore people strive to take vacations during the most comfortable seasons in terms of weather.
