Coronavirus: impact on staycations in the U.S. - statistics & facts
A staycation refers to a vacation in which travelers stay in their home nation instead of traveling abroad. It can also describe a holiday spent at home with day trips to local attractions. Staycations have also been referred to as domestic or local travel. These types of domestic holidays became especially relevant in the United States during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic where travel restrictions and public discomfort in the U.S. with traveling abroad caused a huge decline in international travel. Staycations can include all types of vacations from beach holidays to city trips, and when it came to sources of inspiration for U.S. staycations, the majority of Americans preferred to listen to the opinions of friends or family, with over 65 percent stating this preference when surveyed in 2020.
