It’s always something wacky with these people
Your Next Vacation Could Be a ‘Coolcation’
23It was a trip to Ireland in August 2023 that changed things for Susan Taylor. While her hometown of Austin, Texas was baking in heat and humidity, she landed in Belfast to find pleasant and mild temperatures.
“The weather was so cool and lovely,” she says. “I just loved it.”
The trip transformed the way Taylor, who is retired, traveled. Rather than visiting hot locations, she decided to focus her travel to more temperate climates. “You’re spending a lot of money on these vacations,” she says. “Do you really want to be super crowded in 90 degree weather and no air conditioning?”
As much of the world experiences record breaking temperatures due to global warming, many once popular travel destinations are seeing their summers transformed by climate change—especially in Europe, which is currently the fastest warming continent. Facing searing heat waves, many Italian beachfronts saw as much as a 25% drop in visitors in June and July this year. High temperatures have forced Athens, often crowned Europe’s hottest city, to shut down the ??Acropolis during the hottest hours of the day. City planners in Paris are already prepping to respond to 122°F days—which they say are not that far away.
Tourists are taking notice of the extreme heat, and in many cases, changing how they travel. As a result, once overlooked destinations—from the Rocky Mountains to Australia—are seeing a rise in summer visitors.
People have always looked to escape hot places in the summer to travel to cool places, and vice versa in the winter. There’s already a term: snowbirds. Now they’re just link the climate scam into it. Because everything must be linked.
