AB The analysis of seasonality and domestic tourism from the perspective of the accommodation sector has, to date, been unsatisfactorily studied in the domain of visitors to national parks.In light of the scale of accommodation development and its crucial role in tourism, most notablywith regard to environmental impact, in-depth knowledge about accommodation market segmentsand their specific characteristics and patterns of behavior are integral to the development of tourismpolicy. In the context of domestic tourism, underpinned by an understanding of the theory of plannedbehavior and push-and-pull motivations, this study examines seasonality and accommodation typeused by visitors to national parks in the small islands of the Canaries, Spain with the objectivebeing to design the most appropriate environmental tourism policy. By adopting a Multinomiallogistic regression model with 1671 surveys carried out, the study concludes that domestic visitorsdemonstrate a higher propensity to select environmental-friendly accommodation types during thehigh season. At the same time, residents who visit the parks in high season assess the lowest value tothe preservation level of the parks’ natural resources.
