Impact of Climate Change on Tourism Demand in Selected Asia Pacific Countries

This study aims to construct the relative tourism climate index (RTCI) and relative holiday climate index (RHCI) to examine their impact on tourism industry in Asia Pacific region. In general, the ten most visited countries in Asia Pacific have been chosen in this study. A detailed analysis of touri...
