Definition
旺季 (wàngjì) is a noun meaning 'busy/peak season' — the period when business, tourism, or travel is at its highest. It contrasts with 淡季 (dànjì, 'off season'), which is the slow period. Unlike 时节 (shíjié, 'season/time of year'), which is a general time reference, 旺季 specifically refers to a high-demand season.
