Summary/Abstract: The present research aims at the investigation of seasonality as a factor for tourism sustainability in the national resorts of Bulgaria. The reason for choosing them is that they represent separate destinations for which statistical and other data is readily accessible. Methods used are based mostly on secondary information – data from Bulgarian Statistical Institute is analysed and conclusions are drawn. Various seasonality and irregularity coefficients are used. For greater precision graphic methods are also widely used in the analytical process. The lack of primary data is the major research limitation.
