A hot spot is a place that is notably popular, busy, or of high activity, often drawing people for leisure, travel, or social reasons. It can also refer to a location where internet access is available via Wi‑Fi, or in scientific contexts, a region with concentrated activity or risk. Key senses of the term:

• Popular location: a restaurant, district, tourist spot, or venue that’s particularly lively or trendy.
• Internet access: a physical location offering wireless internet access (Wi‑Fi hotspots).
• Geology: a region where heat from the mantle creates volcanic activity, independent of plate boundaries.
• Public health: an area with higher disease transmission or risk, sometimes labeled a “hot spot.”

If you’d like, I can tailor this to a specific context (travel planning, tech setup, science, or health). Citations:

• Popular place and activity sense.

• Internet hotspot definition (Wi‑Fi).

• Geology hotspot concept.
