Spanish Climate Change Policy and its Effects to Fishery and Tourism Industry 2Spanish Local/Industry/National Climate Policy That Causes Global Warming to Occur in Spainand Its Effect Spain's Fishery and Tourism IndustryIntroductionChanges in climatic conditions is a major determinant of tourists’ activities in different parts ofthe world. Tourists make decisions depending on the whether condition of a place. Climatechange refers to the changes experienced in the weather patterns that further affects water bodiesand land surface activities. It is a condition that can be long term or short term depending withthe frequency of occurrence. Weather, on the other hand is the atmospheric state of a place. Theweather can be described further by aspects such as sunshine, rain, heat or wind of a place.Tourists find it challenging at times since they expect specific climatic conditions but insteadfind the opposite weather conditions at the destinations. For instance, if the sea temperatureincreases, there will be a change in rainfall pattern as well. This will make some areas becomedrier while other will become more wet. This is an evidence that tourist activities will be affectedeither negatively or positively. It is, therefore, an important exercise for tourists to understand theweather pattern of a place before making decisions to travel. It is also evident that some fisheriesstay deep below the water where temperature is very low while other are adapted to stay near thewater surface where the water temperature is slightly warm. The change in the temperature of seawater will, therefore, affect the movement of mammals that live in water. Responses to climate changeChanging weather patterns of a place affects tourists’ comfortability especially those who wantto explore winter sport, beaches and nature segments. This also affects tourists’ travel decisionsto a place of choice (Baker, et al, 2012). The Spanish government, which is the main beneficiaryof the funds given by tourists argues that environmental experts within Spain and the weathermen should give accurate information so that when tourists travel to Spain, they do not have to

On the other hand, meteorologists argue thatweather pattern changes without notice. According to the change in climatic conditions withinSpain also affects agricultural activities as well (Costello, et al, 2009). The overall effect is thattourists may avoid going to certain places within Spain or totally avoid Spanish lands due to theunpredictable weather patterns. When this happens, it only means a loss on the government’sside since the revenue that is normally collected from such activities will not be collectedanymore (Eriksen, et al, 2011). Business people whose personal income is directly or indirectly linked to the availability oftourists in Spain have put the government on toes about the effects. There is loss of job since thetourists are not flocking the Spain’s coastal regions. Most business people have based theirbusinesses to the availability of tourists at coastal regions. This means that absence of touristswill render their businesses un-operational. Climatic change of a certain magnitude may makethe existing tourists become uncomfortable hence opt to leave the country. Economically, thisreduces the total revenue to the government more so from tourism sector. It is also evident thatthe total taxes collected from citizens will reduce drastically since many citizens are notemployed anymore, they do not have any source of income and, therefore, they are nottransacting in any way (Garnaut, 2011). Economically it means that there is no cash flow fromsuch a sector, thus reducing the overall incomeBusiness people do like certain whether patterns since they bring positivity in tourism sector inSpain. For instance, the change in the speed of wind up to above 25 kilometers per hour, triggersboat racing activities (Gilley, 2012). This, therefore, attracts more people including the touristswho come in to take part in the exercise and give out money to the concerned people asexchange. However, some economic activities will not take place as needed since that speed of
