Europe is large region and within the region some countries are very spread out which shows some Mediterranean climates and opposing cold temperatures toward the north, “Europe is covered by several climatic zones” (McIntosh et al, 1995, 270). Countries such as Spain, Greece, France, Rome and Malta to name a few can reach temperatures over 30 degrees. This is very different to countries such as Austria which have a lot of snowy weather in the area, making them peak places for ski tourism. A variety of attractions can be enjoyed in Europe whether the individual tourist wants to enjoy a hot holiday or stay in the snowy mountains and experience a ski holiday, which is something that isn’t as accessible in other countries such as Africa and Asia. European Environment Agency shows, “Climate change and its impacts are becoming more visible in Europe” (Nicholls, 2006, 151) which could cause change in how people choose their destinations in the future. Some countries are becoming much hotter which is attractive to those who seek a hot country but do not want to go as far as Asia, as an example.
