A comparison of the seasonal pattern of visits to the destination
areas indicates that Saaremaa functions more as a summer destination.
In Saare County more than half of the visits were made
during the summer months with only about 10.7% in winter. Visits
made to Tartu County are more equally distributed throughout the
whole year, with slight peaks in July and March (Fig. 3). The majority
of the visits are still made during summer (29.5%), but the
other seasons have a higher share compared to the pattern for the
whole of Estonia or for Saaremaa.
