The aim of this paper is to find out whether the sensitivity of occupancy of hotels and pensions in relation to the established seasonal patterns was significantly different in 2022 compared to the pre-pandemic period. For this purpose, pre-pandemic seasonal behaviour patterns of visitors to hotel and other accommodation establishments by region in the Czech Republic are first identified. Subsequently, the relationship between the occupancy of hotels and pensions in individual regions and the seasonal patterns found is modelled. The results show that the regions of the Czech Republic can be divided into several groups in terms of seasonality: no peak, one peak and two peaks. Cultural tourism tends to eliminate more pronounced seasonal dips. Furthermore, the results show that the occupancy of hotels and pensions in relation to the seasonal behaviour of residents is the same in all regions in the post-pandemic period as in the pre-pandemic period. In the case of non-resident visitors, there were slight changes.
