seasonal tourism
Peak-period vacationing industry
Seasonal tourism is travel that concentrates in particular times of year, driven by weather, holidays, or events.
Ski resorts thrive in winter; beach towns peak in summer.
The pattern creates economic challenges—businesses must earn a year's income in a few months, and workers face off-season unemployment.
The island's economy depends almost entirely on seasonal tourism.
