Sažetak
Seasonality is identified as one of the most visible characteristics of modern tourism. Although the seasonality of tourism demand is studied from many aspects, this paper tries to contribute to the recognition of two basic causes of seasonality: natural and institutional. The aim of the paper is to analyze the seasonality by excluding as far as possible the impact of the institutional causes of seasonality, which decision makers can only partially influence. In an effort to separate the effect of institutional causes of seasonality during seasonality measurement, a corrected coefficient of seasonal variation has been constructed. The analysis is carried out on a sample of the member states of the European Union and the results show that the five Mediterranean countries which tourism faces the most evident seasonality have the strongest seasonality, regardless of the cause of seasonality. On the other hand, Spain and Portugal have a relatively small impact on the institutional causes of seasonal variations in tourism demand, while Malta and Cyprus have for the European tourism an atypical seasonal pattern, so the difference in the value of their coefficients is negative.
