Several studies reported that the long-term thermal history of the human body affects its thermal comfort and preferences. We conducted a tropical field study in Sanya city, China; 1512 questionnaires were collected from tourists. The tourists had five thermal histories associated with five different climate regions (cold, severely cold, hot summer, cold winter, hot summer and warm winter and temperate regions). Our results showed that the human body's long-term thermal history had distinct influences on their thermal sensation, thermal comfort and preferences at their destination. Greater difference in a subject's thermal history from that of the tourist destination showed greater difference in the bioclimatic comfort and thermal preference. The neutral physiological equivalent temperature (nPET) of tourists with thermal histories in the severely cold and cold regions was 25.6°C and 25.9°C, respectively. The nPET was 1.4°C and 1.7°C higher than that of the temperate regions, respectively. The relationship between thermal acceptability vote and thermal comfort vote showed that the tourists with thermal histories in the severely cold and cold regions were more sensitive to environmental changes than those with histories from the other regions.
