Detailed explanation-1: -Seasonality is defined as an imbalance between supply and demand in a given tourist destination over the course of the year (Butler, 1994). Seasonal fluctuations are pervasive in the tourism system due to climactic and socio-structural cycles of both destinations and markets.

Detailed explanation-3: - Seasonality causes the fluctuation in tourists and visitor numbers to a destination. Therefore, some destinations at certain times have more tourists and visitors than they are able to accommodate, while at other times, there are too few tourists and visitors to the region.
