This paper analyses the seasonal concentration of tourist activity in the main
Spanish provinces for the period 1999-2012, taking hotel nights as the indicator
of reference. We propose using several standard summary measures in order
to evaluate the level, evolution and some decompositions. Our main results can
be summarized as follows: first, across the whole country and especially since
2007, there is a growth in seasonality; second, seasonal concentration is
greatest in the Balearic Islands and two of the Catalan provinces, and least in
Madrid and the Canary Island provinces; third, although the overall patterns
typically agree, nevertheless, in some provinces the indexes we deal with show
some discrepancies; fourth, the decomposition of the monthly concentration by
major markets typically indicates the main role played by the foreign
component; finally, the overall evidence does not support the thesis that the
domestic market offsets the foreign one.
