Temperatura, superficie y aire: tres factores que impactarán en el turismo

📈 Meteorologist Mario Picazo, at the III Sustainable Destinations Summit by UN Tourism in Mallorca, highlights the urgency of climate action, emphasizing the goal of maintaining average global temperatures around 15 degrees. Picazo references Robert Swan's famous quote, stressing individual responsibility in combating climate change. He suggests climate change will lead to hotter summers and shifts in tourism seasons, particularly in the Mediterranean, predicting a decline in July-September tourism. Increased ocean temperatures are causing more intense hurricanes, and higher greenhouse gases could mean more flight turbulence. Picazo concludes that ecotourism will become more prominent, focusing on social inclusion, sustainability, and environmental respect.
