Özet:

It is important that climate comfortable conditions are within presumed threshold values with respect to tourism activities in the form that people rest in a healthy environment. While determining the climate comfortable conditions, sunshine duration, temperature, relative humidity, wind and precipitation are taken into consideration. The purpose of this study is to examine the climate comfortable conditions in respect of coastal tourism on the Eastern Black Sea Subregion coastal belt of Turkey. In this study, the Tourism Climatic Index (TCI), the Thermo Hygrometric Index (THI) and the Summer Simmer Index (SSI) have been used. The mean annual TCI value was calculated in the “acceptable” category. TCI values change between “marginal” and “good” categories in year and between meteorological stations. According to THI, TCI and SSI indices favorable climate comfortable periods for coastal tourism are 3 June-25 June and 6 September-27 September. The favourable period for sea bathing is 11 July-13 September. Climatic conditions for coastal tourism are unstable in general and rainfall is the most important climate issues for coastal tourism
