Market diversification seeks to attract new types of tourists using the existing resources and facilities. Product diversification involves changing or developing new products and services for current markets. 2. Events and festivals have been recognized as by far the most common single strategy to combat seasonality. This can include attractions such as conferences, celebrations, concerts, and sporting games, which can be developed with the goal of increasing tourism demand during off-peak seasons. 3. Sharm El-Sheikh is very much dependent on diving and it is important to develop other attractions that are not directly related to it. The area around offers possibilities for businesses to develop various activities outside the high season such as, hiking, jeep tours, geothermal bathing, and sightseeing at nearby attractions. 4. It is advised that businesses focus on marketing other seasons apart from the summer. Certain target groups can be identified which may be able to visit at all times of the year. Product development for other seasons of the year is necessary. 5. Marketing campaigns to attract different markets in different seasons.
