Main Article Content
Abstract
The statistical characteristics of the monthly mean values of the Tourism Climate Index (TCI) and its components for Mestia in the period from 1961 through 2010 are represented. In particular, the changeability of the indicated bioclimatic parameters into 1986÷2010 in comparison with 1961÷1985 is studied.
