staycationer

Home-based holidaymaker

A staycationer is someone who takes time off work but stays home or in their local area rather than traveling.

The term emerged as travel costs rose and "staycation" entered the vocabulary: The hotel offered deep discounts to attract local staycationers.

It carries a slight defensiveness—justifying rest without the expense or hassle of going somewhere.
