seasonal visitors
Periodic returning guests
Seasonal visitors are people who come to a place during particular times of year, typically for tourism, recreation, or weather-related migration.
Beach towns swell with seasonal visitors in summer; ski resorts depend on them in winter.
The term also applies to snowbirds—retirees who spend winters in warmer climates: The seasonal visitors have returned to Florida.
In wildlife contexts, the phrase describes migratory animals.
