Abstract

Tourism industry is highly sensitive to climate change and can significantly affect tourist’s behaviour and destination choice. This study analyzes the impact of climate change on tourist arrivals to Uzbekistan from 67 countries using traditional gravity models for the period 2008-2018. The results reveal that tourism demand of Uzbekistan is not highly dependent on climate issues however, average temperature and precipitation have significant effects.
