Abstract

Even though there is a growing body of literature dealing with several aspects of tourism seasonality, causes, impacts, etc., the research on seasonality measurement is still relatively scarce. The role of markets in the configuration of seasonality in tourism destinations adds an additional problem to the measurement of seasonal concentration, since an additive decomposition technique is needed to estimate the contribution of each market to the overall synthetic index. In this field, there have been some recent contributions that propose using double decompositions to allow the joint consideration of markets and segments. The case study analysed in this chapter helps illustrate some of the conceptual problems present in the analysis of tourism seasonality across markets and provides the opportunity to apply a double decomposition of the Gini index, introducing a territorial element: the disaggregation by province in addition to the international and domestic markets.
