weekenders
Short-stay travelers
Weekenders are people who visit a place for the weekend, typically from cities to countryside or resort areas.
The term often carries a slight edge—locals may use it to distinguish casual visitors from permanent residents: The weekenders drive up property prices but the shops close in winter.
Also refers to small overnight bags or brief recreational trips.
