Why Tourism Seasonality Shapes Your Flights: What the Antalya Summit Aims to Fix

Tourism seasonality is the concentration of travel demand into a few months of the year, and it is the reason a Mediterranean beach town can be packed in August and half-shuttered in November. The scale is stark: according to Eurostat, 31.1% of all overnight stays in EU tourist accommodation during 2025 took place in just two months, July and August. That single figure explains most of what travelers experience at the airport counter: peak-season fares, thin winter schedules and hotels that close when the season ends. The industry is now organizing around the problem. The Tourism Seasonality Summit, now in its fourth year and run by Routes in partnership with Low Season Traveller, will meet from 21-23 April 2027 at the NEST Congress & Exhibition Center in Antalya, Türkiye. Previous editions were held in Bahrain, Seville and Rimini. For travelers, the agenda matters because it targets the mechanics behind when flights exist and what they cost. The timing is no accident.
