Does Your City Rank? The Top 10 Best And Worst Cities For A Staycation
If you don’t want to travel far this summer, why not plan a staycation?
Staycations are a great way to explore the city you live in, or even a surrounding city.
“Summer and early fall are great times to have a staycation,” says Dipra Jha, Assistant Director & Scholarly Associate Professor, School of Hospitality Business Management, Washington State University Carson College of Business.
Jha goes on to say, “However, weekend staycations have become extremely popular year-round with hotels and resort curating packages to attract people seeking a quick getaway within or not too far from their community.”
