winter tourism
Snowy vacation industry
Winter tourism is travel centered on cold-weather activities and destinations—skiing, snowboarding, ice skating, or visiting snowy landscapes.
Resorts in mountain regions depend heavily on winter tourism: The local economy relies on winter tourism from December through March.
The term also covers holiday travel to winter markets, northern lights viewing, or simply escaping to warm destinations during winter months.
