Adaptation strain index for tourists traveling from central and northern Europe to the Mediterranean

One of the principal features of climate is its spatial variability. Longdistance travels are an essential part of life in contemporary societies. In 2012 tourismarrivalsreached 1 billion people at the global scale. In a short time one can move toextremelydifferent climatic conditions and one’s orga...
