high season

Peak travel period

High season is the time of year when a destination or business sees its greatest demand—peak tourist months, busiest booking periods, highest prices.

A ski resort's high season is winter; a beach town's is summer.

Hotel rates double during high season.

The opposite is low season or off-season.
