Summary:In tourism literature, seasonality is approached as an evolution mode of the activity and, inmost cases, it is seen as a problem faced by tourist destinations/ units, but also by other economicand social agents connected to the tourism activity, including local government authorities.

As a case study, we analyzed the concentration of the tourism activity in Constanta city,using as a database the evolution of the indicator "number of overnight stays", over the period2010-2016. It is important to know the concentration tendency of tourism activities, the consequences thatmay occur and the entities that may be more interested in or affected by the concentrationphenomenon.
