staycationers
Vacation-at-home folks
Staycationers are people who take time off work but remain at home or in their local area rather than traveling to a distant destination.
The term gained popularity during economic downturns and travel restrictions, when vacationing close to home became more practical or necessary.
The staycationers explored local hiking trails and visited museums they'd always meant to see.
The word combines "stay" with "vacationers" to emphasize the deliberate choice to relax without the hassle or expense of travel.
