What is staycation?

It is a kind of vacation period where tourist travels to a nearby location (not too far) and spends time with family / friends. Travellers can enjoy and experience nature, tracking, rafting and various other activities.

According to Wikipedia : It is a period in which an individual or family stays at home and participates in leisure activities within a day trip distance of their home and does not require overnight accommodation. Common activities of a staycation include use of a backyard pool, visits to local parks, museums, local festivals and amusement parks.

In such a unprecedented scenario, hospitality businesses need to work on various new concepts to bring back business on platform. Staycation is one of the approaches, that can possibly provide business, as currently people may not plan for vacations in far-off destinations due to restrictions. Therefore hospitality businesses can offer various packages undertaking activities viz. cultural, sports, yoga, fitness and many more.

Hospitality businesses can plan for small groups keeping in view to maintain the social distancing and offer unconventional services to the customers.
