People living in different regions adapt physiologically and psychologically to the background climatic conditions of their place of origin. This may influence their decisions in the planning phase when travelling for holidays by determining their climatic preferences and the importance of individual climatic parameters. Due to the different levels of adaptation and acclimatization the subjective thermal assessments (e.g. the thermal perceptions) of the tourists in response to a thermal environment might be extremely varied, which should be considered in the climate potential studies. This paper analyses the tourism climatic potential of some Hungarian tourist destinations, assuming that people visiting these places have adapted to the climatic conditions prevailing in the Southern Great Hungarian Plain. We characterize the tourism climatic conditions using the Tourism Climatic Index (TCI) modified in a way which enables to include the real thermal perception characteristics of the people living in this region. To achieve this goal, we integrate a thermal sensation scale of the Physiologically Equivalent Temperature (PET) into the TCI which was modified to reflect the thermal sensation properties of the South-Hungarian citizens. Moreover, we compare the results with those referring to people living under the Western-Central-European climatic conditions by applying also the widely known conventional PET thermal sensation scale in the TCI. The preliminary results indicate that the most favourable tourism climatic conditions in terms of TCI occur in the shoulder seasons in each investigated area. The annual course of TCI is similar in the case of both methods with different PET scales, however the South-Hungarian residents seem to perceive the tourism climatic conditions less stressful throughout the year compared to the Europeans, which can be very unfavourable and dangerous in extreme warm conditions.
