Answering user needsApproach & overview of the products

Approach for Savoie and Tunisia

Products’development stage

Strong interaction between CET and SET (regular meetings to discuss background and format of the products)

Mobilisation of intermediaries, data providers essentially (like observatory of climate change in Savoie)

Less interaction with institutional and operational tourism stakeholders

Large survey of tourists in Tunisia (for TCI product)

Main difficulties encountered (SET point of view) that slowed down the interaction in the development stage - Difficulties to access and then to reformat the products already available - Need of very detailed, translated and adapted products that requires a substantial

reformatting - Need to strengthen and better justify the product selection for development

A participatory approach

Workshops stage

3 workshops were organized : Tunisia and Savoie (May), Croatia (June)

The Cyprus workshop will be held in September

Few attendance (5-10 tourism stakeholders per workshop)

Typology of stakeholders involved : Savoie : Mountain resort, Federation of outdoor activities, camping Tunisia : Travel agencies, hotel manager Croatia :National park, county tourism association, national agency

Still remains difficult to mobilize tourism stakeholders

Main Results

Successfull products

Present climate productsEx: TCI - Tunisia

Present climate productsEx: Tunisia Indicators of bathing season

Future productsEx: Evolution of temperatures in high mountain areas

Model ensemble mean (black line) for the T°C maximum. The envelop represents the minimum and maximum changes obtained by the different simulations.

Relevance of the products

Good representation (backgound, format), easy to understand

A better understanding of tourism and climate change (spatial and timescale)

Better use of the country's potential climate and diversification of tourism activities (Tunisia)

Good tool to rise awareness (Savoie)

…

Other feedbacks

Limitation and perspectives

Need to diversify climate paramaters for successfull products Ex : Extend the SST forecast to temperature, precipitation, extremes

events

Need to diversify time scales according to stakeholders Ex : Need to focus on more short term products for operational

management in Savoie (long term products are not so relevant) / Need to develop Futur conditions for TCI

Need to improve the format of some products Ex : Future Climate change in Tunisia + extremes events in Savoie

Need to correlate products to impact studies Ex : Temperature of moutain lakes in Savoie

Need to find the best way of diffusion + production Ex : via local or national institution, newsletter, mobile application etc.

ExamplesFormat that has to be improved - Tunisia
