Abstract

Tourism is a weather and climate related element, in such a way that suitable weather and having enough information about the climate conditions of the destination has become one of the most important factors in tourism attraction. Climate comfort is the basis of development in tourism activities. Using the indexes of Tourism Climate Index (TCI), Physiological Equivalent Temperature (PET), and climatic data, thirteen synoptic stations which possessed the climatic comfort throughout the year in the province were selected for investigation. In this way, first the climate data of the understudy stations were retrieved from the meteorological organization of the province. After the data processing using Excel software, a data bank was prepared for each of the features and for each month of the year. Later, in order to find the TCI index, information about this indicator was transferred to the TCI calculator software and the PET index was transferred to the RayMan Software too. Then, using the technique of GIS, maps of the studied indexes were prepared for each month of the year and the stations. The results of the study showed that, the tourism conditions of comfort in the studied stations during the year had the worst comfort condition based on TCI indicator in January, February, April, July, August, March, May, October, November and December (with three classifications of, marginal, acceptable and good), while during the other months (with three classifications of, very good, excellent and ideal) had the best condition in terms of tourism comfort. Also, based on PET indicators June, July, August, May and September had better comforting conditions for tourists, but the rest of the year was seen to have the worst comfort condition for tourists.
