Implication

Non-randomized study reveals seasonality trends in local tourism destinations, suggesting improved strategies for local demand management.

Key Points

The aim is to investigate tourism seasonality at a local scale in Gran Canaria to identify measurement biases and inform better management strategies.
Analyzed monthly hotel and apartment overnight stays across 14 Local Tourism Destinations (LTDs).
Applied the Gini index and its decomposition, alongside Relative Marginal Effects to assess seasonality.
Examined variations based on accommodation type and occupancy levels.
Several LTDs showed higher seasonality compared to the overall island rate.
Apartments exhibited stronger seasonal patterns than hotels based on occupancy data.
Findings demonstrate spatial aggregation biases in seasonality measurement, highlighting the need for localized monitoring.
