vacationland

Leisure travel region

Vacationland is a region known as a destination for leisure travel and tourism, especially one with natural attractions like beaches, mountains, or lakes.

The term often appears in promotional contexts and state slogans: Maine calls itself "Vacationland" on its license plates.

It can be used ironically for places that don't live up to the promise: Welcome to vacationland—if you don't mind the mosquitoes.
