Abstract

Majority of scientists approve and acknowledge the existence of climate change effects and are aware of the predicted intensity and frequencies on the long term and results that the year of 2100 will be showing.
The objective of this article is to shed the light on the risks that climate change effects present today to the tourism in general and to the winter activities in particular.
This article will also explain the measures that could be applied to help against the effects of climate change, measures that would certainly be costly ecologically and financial speaking.
