To simply understand it, the word is a merged word made from ‘stay’ and ‘vacation’. But where are you staying? Well, this could be at home in your own house when you decide to spend a couple of days exploring your local area. Or it could mean staying in another city in your own country; in a hotel or holiday home.
Why have they become so popular?
Well, the pandemic had a role to play in encouraging more staycations as people were unable to travel abroad to all the countries that were in the red lists.
However, despite the difficult times we all saw, many people got the chance to explore the beautiful country we live in throughout the past few years.
