The Executive Board of the International Society of Biometeorology (ISB) founded the Commission on Climate, Tourism and Recreation (CCTR) at the 15th International Congress of Biometeorology in Sydney, Australia in 1999. The aims of the CCTR are to bring together researchers from around the world to critically review the current state of knowledge in tourism and recreation climatology and explore possibilities for future research. Almost two decades on, research in tourism climatology has developed and expanded due in large part to the initiatives and activities of the CCTR and several collaborative research projects run under the auspices of the CCTR. This work is reviewed here. Recent CCTR meeting highlighted the fact that, although climate is an essential part of the resource base for tourism, which is one of the world's biggest and fastest growing industries, relatively little is known about the effects of climate on tourist choices and broad demand patterns or the influence climate has on the commercial prospects and sustainability of tourism operators and destinations. The work here reviews what has been done, its conceptual underpinnings and current research frontiers.
国际生物气象学会（ISB）执行委员会于 1999 年在澳大利亚悉尼举行的第 15 届国际生物气象学大会上成立了气候、旅游与休闲委员会（CCTR）。CCTR 的目标是汇集来自世界各地的研究人员，对旅游和休闲气候学的现有知识状况进行批判性评估，并探索未来研究的可能性。近二十年来，由于 CCTR 的倡议和活动以及在 CCTR 主持下开展的几个合作研究项目，旅游气候学的研究得到了发展和扩大。本文回顾了这方面的工作。最近的 CCTR 会议强调了一个事实，即尽管气候是旅游业资源基础的一个重要组成部分，而旅游业是世界上最大和发展最快的产业之一，但人们对气候对游客选择和广泛需求模式的影响，以及气候对旅游经营者和目的地的商业前景和可持续性的影响知之甚少。本文回顾了已经开展的工作、其概念基础和当前的研究前沿。
