In the nearest years the Mediterranean and the beloved Turkey and Egypt will be unsuitable for tourism because of the global warming. These are the result of the latest research of the Deutsche Bank. And the touristic industry will flourish in Russia and the beaches of the Northern Germany will be especially attractive. Though, the experts advise not to blame the weather, but to build hotels and advertise those lands that are not really popular now.

The summer heat will become normal for European countries, tsunami will frighten the tourists from the popular beaches and the snow on the mountain resorts will melt. These and many other consequences of the global warming will dramatically change the touristic map of the world, as the analytics of the Deutsche Bank affirm in their report "Climate changes and tourism: where the touristic roads will lead?".

Most bad luck will get Australia. Because of the oil prices the flights there will be more expensive and because of the warming the floods will be constant in the coastal area as well as the forest fire. Also the corrals of the Great Barrier Reef will disappear - but this will only increase the diving tourism in the country. The advertising slogan is already there: "Take a look at the Great Barrier Reef till it completely disappears!" The reefs at Maldives - popular among the tourists - will also die, but it is not a real problem - till that time the Maldives will be under water too.

The nightmares are not still over. In Greece, Turkey, Egypt, Spain and Portugal - the summer heat that killed 35 thousands people in 2003 will become regular. In the Southern Europe there are of course cultural heritages that will still attract tourists. But there are less sights as in the competitor's countries and the cultural sights can be visited in a less hot time of the year. The most profitable summer season will miss the Mediterranean. In addition, the holiday-makers will have no more love for Hungary, because the Balaton lake will get shallow.

The beachers will move to the coasts of North and Baltic seas - first of all to Germany, Denmark and Baltics. The economists are sure that the beaches of the Northern Germany will be the most popular in Europe. France and Italy will also not really suffer from the European heat - and even win a little - these countries are visited not for the "chocolate" sun tan, but firstly because of the museums and ancient palaces. The ski resorts located high in the French Alps will not suffer. But those that are located lower - will significantly melt. This will happen in Italy, Austria and Germany. The Scandinavian and English climate will become tender and cozy.

According to the forecasts of the Hamburg University professor - Richard Tol, because of the global warming - till the end of the XXI-th century the tourists flow will noticeably increase for Canada (200%), Russia (174%) and Mongolia (174%). The profit loss will happen in the hot moslem countries - Mavritania (decrease by 60%), Mali (59%) and also Bahrain, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates (decrease by 55-58%).
