这项研究量化了需求高峰和季节性对西班牙住宿业区域生产力的影响。然后，我们确定影响季节性波动的因素及其对季节性区域变化的相对贡献。研究结果表明，旺季住宿需求主要决定生产率。因此，提高一个区域作为旅游目的地的吸引力，对以旅游业为基础的区域发展最为有效。此外，减少季节性变化对生产力有不可忽视的影响。分解分析表明，提供气候独立的旅游景点和吸引商务旅客是有效的减少季节性。
This study quantifies the impact of peak demand and seasonality on regional productivity in the Spanish accommodation sector. We then identify factors affecting seasonal fluctuations and their relative contributions to regional variations in seasonality. The results show that demand for accommodation in the peak season mainly determines productivity. Thus, improving a region's attractiveness as a tourist destination is most effective for tourism-based regional development. In addition, reducing seasonal variations has a non-negligible impact on productivity. A decomposition analysis reveals that providing climate-independent tourist attractions and attracting business travelers are effective in reducing seasonality.
