Abstract

This research explores the meaning of "Seasonality" on a tourism destination with a particular focus on the hospitality business being the accommodation stakeholders of the region. There will be a discussion of strategies that both accommodation and governmental stakeholders are implementing in order to reduce the effects of seasonality on the region. Data for this case was obtained by a survey being complemented by interviews to relevant stakeholders on the Danish Island of Møn. They were revealing different perspectives on the subject of seasonality, and how positive and harmful it can be to have seasonality in a UNESCO protected island. There was an exploration of what strategies are being implemented on a governmental level and private level in order to mitigate the effects of seasonality on the destination.
