seasonal rates
Time-dependent pricing
Seasonal rates are prices that vary depending on the time of year.
Hotels, airlines, and vacation rentals charge higher rates during peak seasons when demand is greatest: Seasonal rates at the beach resort triple in summer.
The term applies to any pricing structure tied to predictable fluctuations in demand—ski resorts in winter, tax accountants in spring.
