Abstract
Tourism in the UK benefited from the continued 'hot spell' throughout the three summer months in 1995. A revival of the traditional British seaside holiday was experienced whilst holidays taken abroad fell sign ificantly. This paper uses information from the regional tourist board s to evaluate the nature of the climate-tourism relationship for domes tic tourists in 1995. Subsequently, the likely concerns and opportunit ies for tourism in a globally warmer world are identified. (C) 1998 El sevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
