Abstract
Weather and climate are a principal resource and constraint for tourism that directly and indirectly influence global demand patterns. Against the background of rapidly expanding literature on climate and tourism, this study sheds needed insight into the complexities of tourist climate preferences and the implications for rating current and future climate resources for tourism. A survey of 472 beach tourists is the basis for comparing the climatic preferences of diverse tourism market segments on the Caribbean islands of Barbados, Saint Lucia and Tobago. Key findings include warmer temperature preferences and tolerances for tourists originating from tropical regions, with lower heat preferences and tolerances for tourists from temperate regions. Statistically significant differences (p < 0.05) were also found between temperate and tropical residents for every climate variable examined (temperature, rain, sky conditions, wind). The results are discussed with regard to their implication for the construction of tourism climate indices, demand models and climate change assessments.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
