Assessing Present and future climate conditions for beach tourism in Jardines del Rey (Cuba)

This study assesses, adapting the weather types method, the suitability of the climate in Jardines del Rey (Cuba) for the practice of sun and beach tourism over the period 1991-2014, and the potential future impacts of climate change on this form of tourism on the basis of outputs from the PRECIS-Ca...
