Relationship between tourism demand in the Swiss Alps and hot summer air temperatures associated with climate change

Martine Rebetez, Gaëlle Serquet

We quantified the impacts of hot summer air temperatures on tourism in the Swiss Alps by analysing the relationship between temperature and overnight stays in 40 Alpine resorts. Several temperature thresholds were tested to detect the relationship between ...
