hot season? Speaking of traveling, in some seasons some place has a lot of tourists, in some seasons there are scarcely any tourists. My quesiton is, what is the word for these kind of two seasons? Is "hot season" the word for the former? Thanks a lot!

Re: hot season? Peak holiday season/period = when visitors/tourists are at the highest level. Originally Posted by Harry Smith What do you think of: holiday-making season? For me it's summer.
Hot could mean popular as well as high temperature. Some places are most popular when its cold and snowy (for skiing or snowboarding)

Re: hot season? And the other one would be "lean season"?

Teacher Re: hot season? In AmE, the time that is busiest with travelers is called "tourist season." Not every area's tourist season falls during Summer or warm months; in places popular for skiing, tourist season would occur during the Winter months. The time when vacation spots and resorts are quiet and sparsely populated (think Niagara Falls in January) is referred to as the "off season."
"I've learned to travel during the off-season. My brother went to Disney World in July and paid $299 for a hotel room. I went there in January and got a deluxe suite for $95."

Re: hot season? Thanks Curmudgeon. Actually I am more used to 'off-season' but
somehow it escaped my mind. :)
