“…This causes a slew of issues, particularly during the high season (July-September), when Ohrid's physical and social carrying capacity hits a breaking point Collins-Kreiner, 2017 andOhrid SOS, 2019). So, tourismbased economy supported by seasonality patterns (Petrevska and Nikolovski, 2018;Petrevska, 2013 and2015) put Ohrid to anthropogenic pressure particularly in terms of heavy traffic, congestion, and costal exploitation (UNESCO, 2019).…”

Seasonality has been identified as one of the most important influencing factors in tourism development. The presence of seasonality is empirically tested in this study by elaborating Ohrid as the most well-known summer tourism destination in North Macedonia. Standard indicators such as the Gini index, the Seasonality Indicator, and the Coefficient of Variation are computed. The calculated values for two variables, the total number of tourists and the number of foreign tourists that visited Ohrid on a monthly basis from 2000 to 2021, are compared in depth. When the overall number of tourists was investigated, the study found considerable and strong fluctuations within a year with important features and the presence of robust tourism seasonality. On the other hand, international tourism demand is quite stable, with only minor fluctuations over the course of a year, indicating a weak tourism concentration. Based on an in-depth comparative analysis, Ohrid is a 'four-season' attraction for foreigners but not for domestic visitors. As a result, the study outlines the importance of establishing new strategies for attracting domestic tourists, thus shifting their perception from summer to innovative destination. Finally, a discussion is open for creating new image to reposition Ohrid in an overall destination with no seasonality.

“…The peak points for the international tourism demand are visible in the third quarter (summer months July-September) (Figure 2). So Ohrid is characterized by an unequal seasonal distribution of tourist arrivals and the presence of strong and powerful seasonality [20], [21].…”

Planning tourism development means preparing the destination for coping with uncertainties as tourism is sensitive to many changes. This study tested two types of artificial neural networks in modeling international tourist arrivals recorded in Ohrid (North Macedonia) during 2010-2019. It argues that the MultiLayer Perceptron (MLP) network is more accurate than the Nonlinear AutoRegressive eXogenous (NARX) model when forecasting tourism demand. The research reveales that the bigger the number of neurons may not necessarily lead to further performance improvement of the model. The MLP network for its better performance in modelling series with unexpected challenges is highly recommended for forecasting dynamic tourism demand.

Since its expansion at the beginning of the 20th century, tourism has shown its strength and importance. Tourism is a link between several economic sectors, thanks to its accumulated development potential. One of the main goals of business entities from the financial point of view is to achieve profit. The second is the maximize the value of the company, which can be affected by the achievement of profit. Companies operating in the field of tourism in the Slovak Republic are no exception. The chapter deals with the analysis of their equity, including its individual items with an emphasis on the going concern. Using Pearson’s correlation coefficient, we identify the relationship between equity and its individual items. The aim of the chapter is, based on indebtedness indicators, specifically total indebtedness and the degree of self-financing to assess the adequacy of own resources needed to finance its activities in this sector in the Slovak Republic, while marginally analyzing the impact of COVID-19 on the tourism sector in Slovakia.
