local tourism
Hometown visitor activity
Local tourism is travel and leisure activities undertaken close to home, typically within one's own region or country rather than abroad.
It emphasizes exploring nearby attractions, supporting area businesses, and discovering what's available without extensive travel: The pandemic sparked renewed interest in local tourism.
Sometimes called staycation tourism or domestic tourism.
