Özet

Climate is an important resource for tourism and an equally important element that needs to be included in tourism promotions. This study reveals Nevsehir's bioclimatological conditions. These conditions were identified by using physiologically equivalent temperature and Climate-Tourism-Information-Scheme over 10-day periods and analyzing the mean thermal perception values that emerged. Evaluating bioclimatic conditions and meteorological parameters such as air temperature, duration of sunshine, number of wet days, amount of precipitation and wind, from the perspective of tourism will help people choose the best holiday times depending on their individual needs and circumstances.
