AB - The Middle Mediterranean is characterized by long, hot and dry summers,  significant historical and cultural values and the warm Mediterranean Sea,  making it attractive for coastal tourism. Given these characteristics, the  goal of our paper is to analyze the influence of summer temperatures in the  region of the Middle Mediterranean on the values of underlying economic and  tourism indicators. The method of simple linear correlation and regression  was used. Based on the results of testing, we came to the conclusion that the  temperatures in the summer months have no significant influence on selected  economic and tourism indicators. Also, we conclude that social factors have  the greatest influence on these indicators. The coefficients of variation are  calculated in the observed period to analyze the variability of the tested  values. It could not be identified a statistically significant relationship  of indicators with average temperatures. [Projekat Ministarstva nauke  Republike Srbije, br. 47007]
