Summary Report | PowerPoint Presentations | Videos
In partnership with the North Carolina Sea Grant, the National Climatic Data Center, and the East Carolina University Institute for Coastal Science and Policy, the Center sponsored a Southeast US Regional Workshop on Climate, Weather, and Tourism, which attracted approximately 100 scientists, academics, public policy officials, nonprofit leaders, and business owners to discuss how to bridge science and practice, thereby improving business practices and economic vitality. The workshop focused on developing a strategy for raising awareness of issues linking tourism, weather, and climate; on developing a framework for collaborative research on climatic risks, opportunities, and information needs for reducing impacts on our state's tourism industry; and on identifying sources of data and potential partnerships to investigate interactions of tourism, weather, and climate in order to provide usable information for planning and management.
