Seasonality has an influential role in the tourism sector and this role is reflected in economic and social developments, especially labor capacities during recessions and in remote and coastal areas, where the occupancy rate increases when tourists arrive during peak and middle periods, where there is a special policy for hotel establishment prices

1- Peak season: – Tourist demand increases more in the summer season, especially in the months (July, August, September), where demand is greater than supply.

2- Depression season: – It is a reduction in demand for the tourism product, i.e. the activity of tourism movement stops in some seasons of the year (Basili, 2002: 27-26).
