Abstract

Tourist areas may be especially sensitive to consequences raised in different climate change scenarios analyzed by the IPCC. This article outlines some of these problems and challenges in an area whose main economic activity is derived from tourism, linked to climatic and environmental conditions, the Caribbean. To check if the changes in the pluviometric variable are determined by Climate Change and how these processes are affecting tourism in a Caribbean destination in particular, the island of Cuba.
