Abstract
The paper assesses the seasonality impacts on tourism development in the East region of Macedonia. This is made by applying several simple tests for calculating seasonality patterns in tourism demand in terms of tourist arrivals on monthly basis for the interval 2010M1:2014M12. Due to fact that the East region practices many events which are explored in tourism manner, the aim of the research was to identify wheather they perform positively in preventing negative seasonality influences. Furthermore, the research gives an overview of tourism importance for economic development of the East region. The findings point to low level of tourism seasonality with balanced flow distribution to tourism demand. This confirms the positive interaction between the regional tourism events and tourism development of the region. Finally, the study may serve as a starting point in identifying possibilities for enhancing regional growth, in the first line by introducing new tourism events, as well as by boosting the current modest event tourism development.
