Shoulder season

Shoulder season refers to the time between peak season and off-season, when travel demand is lower but conditions are still favorable. It varies by destination but generally falls in spring (March–June) and fall (September–November).

During this season, travelers benefit from lower prices, fewer crowds at tourist attractions, and better availability for lodgings, excursions, and flights.

Hotels, OTAs, airlines, and tour operators frequently offer discounts and perks like early check-in during this time to attract travelers planning ahead.
