off season
Tourism's slow stretch
Off season refers to the time when something is least active or popular.
For tourism, it's when fewer visitors come and prices drop: We traveled in the off season to save money.
In sports, it's the period between competitive seasons when teams aren't playing official games.
As an adjective, usually hyphenated: off-season rates, off-season training.
