Answers
Answer:Hi
Explanation:
Seasonality is a universal factor in tourism and has often been viewed as a problem,
particularly in economic terms. As tourism has grown from a small element in global
development to one of the major forces of economic and social development throughout
the world, the desire to ensure destinations have a year-round tourism industry rather than
a small seasonal activity has become stronger. However, despite many and varied
attempts to achieve this goal, few destinations have managed to secure year round
tourism. Seasonality is a complicated phenomenon, far more complex than simply a
result of annual climatic variation, and thus actions need to address the underlying causes
of seasonality and the reasons for it remaining a permanent characteristic of tourism.
Rather than thinking in terms of “overcoming” seasonality, it would be much more
sensible to see seasonality as a factor to be compensated for, and dealt with through
adaptation and mitigation rather than attempting elimination of seasonal variation in
numbers of tourists. The following sections discuss the nature and origins of seasonality,
the principal factors driving the phenomenon and steps which have been taken by some
destinations to reduce its effects. The concluding section outlines possible strategies
which could be introduced in some destinations to mitigate seasonality in tourist
visitation and lengthen the season during which visitors arrive.
