Would high temps in Europe and elsewhere influence your future vacations plans? [View all]

"Forget wildfires in Greece and Italy. Enjoy your holiday, say tourism chiefs"
"Italy may be frying, but the country’s tourism board says visitors ‘will find a climate suitable for the summer season.’"

"Only 7 percent of European travelers surveyed in March said that extreme weather was their biggest vacation-related concern, according to a study carried out by the European Travel Commission. And while 82 percent of those questioned in a 2021 Eurobarometer survey said they’d be prepared to change their travel and tourism habits to be more sustainable, environmental factors were among the least important metrics by which holidaymakers chose their destination."

"Politicians have a message for tourists who might be freaked out over roasting temperatures and hellish landscapes of roaring forest fires: Swallow your fears and keep enjoying your holiday."

*I can't afford to fly anywhere to go on a vacation (including the US) and if I spent a ton of hard earned savings to only subjected to travel delays, super hot temps, severe rain and fires I would be really pissed off at myself.

Greece and Italy are encouraging tourism and downplaying the extremes.
