In recent years, a travel trend has emerged that invites adventurers to explore their local surroundings instead of embarking on long, costly trips. This trend is called the “staycation,” a blend of the words “stay” and “vacation.”
The idea? To redefine how we think about vacations, focusing on the enriching experiences we can have without leaving our city or region.
What is a staycation?
A staycation is a form of travel where people choose to stay in their local area or nearby during their vacation. Instead of flying to faraway destinations, travelers opt to explore parks, museums, restaurants, and other points of interest nearby that they might normally overlook in everyday life.
This approach is not only more affordable and sustainable, but it also allows travelers to discover the cultural, gastronomic, and natural richness right around the corner.
