(OTAs).
Furthermore, recent couples, families, and groups of people have realized that they need to treat themselves on their days off from work and family obligations, whereas in the past staycations were primarily used for special occasions. Nowadays, a lot of people opt for short weekend trips to neighboring destinations, which is another reason why people prefer to travel within the boundaries of cities.
