tourist season
Peak travel period
Tourist season is the time of year when visitors flood a particular destination, typically driven by favorable weather, school holidays, or local attractions.
Prices rise, crowds swell, and locals brace themselves: Everything's twice as expensive during tourist season.
The phrase often carries a note of weary resignation from residents.
Outside tourist season, the same places may feel deserted.
