COVID-19: U.S. adults who took a staycation 2020

In the United States in 2020, travel was affected by stay-at-home restrictions caused by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. As a result, some people looked to their home country or local area as a vacation alternative. This is referred to as a 'staycation' which refers to a holiday spent in one's home country rather than abroad, or one spent at home and involving day trips to local attractions. An August 2020 survey revealed that 26 percent of U.S. adults stated that they had taken a staycation during the period of the coronavirus pandemic.
