Answering user needs Approach & 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

Overview of the products Prior the workshops

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 products Ex: TCI - Tunisia

Present climate products Ex: Tunisia Indicators of bathing season

Future products Ex: 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.

Examples Format that has to be improved - Tunisia Fig 1: Histogram of ENSEMBLES Regional Climate Models (RCMs) for foreseen changes in winter precipitation and temperature over Tunisia. The grafic shows the mean of air surface temperature tas (a) and precipitation pr (b) for the period against in IPCC A1B scenario simulations
