The Role Of Climate Information In Tourist Destination Choice
Decision-Making AbstractThis study examines if tourists actively
inform themselves about the climate of their planned
destination. In addition, we examine where they inform
themselves and at what point in the holiday decision-making
process. A self-administered questionnaire was distributed to
tourists at the airport, international bus station, and the
train station in Hamburg during July and August 2004. Of the 394
respondents, 73% stated that they informed themselves about the
climate of their destination. Moreover, the majority of them
informed themselves about climate before booking (42%).
Nevertheless, a large percentage of the tourists sampled state
that they informed themselves shortly before their trip.
Interestingly, a significantly large share of the respondents
said that they checked the weather at their destination in the
week before their trip. Download InfoIf you experience problems
