Question:

Which of the following is the main reason for tourist attraction of Southern Europe and the Mediterranean lands?

Options:

Climate

Culture

History and Art

Economy

Correct Answer:

Climate

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) → Climate

Climate: Most people from colder regions expect to have warm, sunny weather for beach holidays. This is one of the main reasons for the importance of tourism in Southern Europe and the Mediterranean lands. The Mediterranean climate offers almost consistently higher temperatures, than in other parts of Europe, long hours of sunshine and low rainfall throughout the peak holiday season. People taking winter holidays have specific climatic requirements, either higher temperatures than their own homelands, or snow cover suitable for skiing.
