Whether a journey is pleasant or not usually depends on the climatic conditions which permit to perform outdoor activities. The perception of climatic conditions, determined by physiological and psychological factors, can vary according to different adaptation phenomena related to the person involved and the weather conditions of the place where they live. Studying the bioclimatology of a country characterized by a high flux of tourism, as e.g. Italy, can provide some important information about where and when is it better to visit a place. Some differences have to be specified though, like the local tourism, which is used to that type of climate, and international tourism, which is formed by people coming from countries with different types of climates. Therefore this paper examined the climatic conditions and outdoor thermal comfort through the Mediterranean Outdoor Comfort Index (MOCI) for local tourism and through the predicted mean vote (PMV) for international tourism. The cities examined were three (Venice, Rome and Palermo located in the North, Centre and South of Italy, respectively), where average information were collected every week for an entire year. Finally, a map of the entire Italian territory reporting the seasonal average values of these indexes was also reported.
一次旅行是否愉快通常取决于允许进行户外活动的气候条件。气候条件的感知取决于生理和心理因素，可能因与个人相关的不同适应现象和他们居住的地方的天气条件而有所不同。研究一个以高旅游流量为特征的国家的生物气候学，例如意大利，可以提供有关何时何地访问一个地方的一些重要信息。不过，需要说明一些差异，例如当地旅游业已经习惯了那种气候，而国际旅游业则由来自不同气候类型国家的人组成。因此，本文通过地中海户外舒适度指数（MOCI）研究了当地旅游的气候条件和户外热舒适度，以及通过预测平均投票数（PMV）研究了国际旅游的气候条件和户外热舒适度。研究的城市有三个（威尼斯、罗马和巴勒莫，分别位于意大利北部、中部和南部），每周在那里收集一整年的平均信息。最后，还报告了整个意大利领土的地图，报告了这些指数的季节性平均值。
