1. What is staycation?

2. What are the possible reasons for people to opt for a staycation?

3. How can staycation help to develop the local community?

The word staycation is a combination of stay and vacation. Staycations tend to dip in and out of popularity. This is largely due to external circumstances such as the economic and political climate. In the height of the global economic recession of 2008, for example, many people opted to take a staycation because they could not afford to travel abroad. Similarly, staycations became popular during the coronavirus outbreak, when travel was restricted in many parts of the world.

There are many reasons that a person or people may opt for a staycation. Tone of them is economic. People tend to go on holidays when they have the money to do so. If money is tight, vacations are often the first thing to go.

There have been several periods of time throughout the history of tourism when people have been reluctant or unable to travel as a result of the economic climate. The most notable times were the Second World War and the economic recession of 2008.

During these times people had less income and therefore had less money to spend on travel. As a result, many people opted for staycations and domestic holidays as an alternative to an international vacation.

People may also feel scared to travel. During times of political unrest people will often choose to stay home and have a staycation. Some people do not want the hassle of travelling. These people may choose to undertake tourist activities close to home or to take a trip to an area that does not require a lot of travelling to reach.

This is particularly popular with people who are not in a position to travel far. For example, they may have young children, have a disability or have work commitments close to home.

Some people choose to have a staycation because of the availability of travel opportunities in their area. Many people are now recognising the importance of supporting your local community. Instead of travelling to another location, people prefer to spend their money locally, so that the local area can reap the rewards of the tourist spend.

Ответ:

1. A staycation is a combination of the words stay and vacation. It refers to a vacation spent at home or involving day trips to local attractions.

2. Possible reasons for a staycation include economic factors (not being able to afford to travel abroad), external circumstances such as travel restrictions (like during the coronavirus outbreak), fear of travelling during political unrest, personal circumstances (like having young children, a disability, or work commitments), and a desire to support the local community.

3. A staycation helps develop the local community because people spend their money locally. This ensures that the local area can reap the rewards of the tourist spend, rather than that money going to another location.

Перевод:

1. Стейкейшн (Staycation) — это комбинация слов stay (оставаться) и vacation (отпуск). Это отпуск, проведенный дома или включающий однодневные поездки к местным достопримечательностям.

2. Возможные причины для стейкейшена включают экономические факторы (невозможность позволить себе поездку за границу), внешние обстоятельства, такие как ограничения на путешествия (например, во время вспышки коронавируса), страх перед поездками во время политических волнений, личные обстоятельства (например, наличие маленьких детей, инвалидности или рабочих обязательств) и желание поддержать местное сообщество.

3. Стейкейшн помогает развивать местное сообщество, потому что люди тратят свои деньги на месте. Это гарантирует, что местный регион может извлечь выгоду из туристических расходов, вместо того чтобы эти деньги уходили в другое место.
