I find myself still improperly calling it tourist season as we did in S. Florida because most visitors were just that, tourists, not part time residents as here. Back in the 50's most of Miami Beach's restaurants and hotels closed for the summer season. They didn't open again until the horse and dog tracks did for the winter. The ones that did stay open raised their rates in the winter then lowered them back down in the summer.
It's a price to pay for having great winter weather.
