Between airline cancellations, travel restrictions and the quest for quality time best spent, people are using their coveted time off on Staycations.
A vacation is considered a "Staycation" when you stay in your home state, or time spent staying home and involving day trips to local attractions.
A study by the team at Travel Lens, known for their "Best Things To Do" lists, analyzed popular tourist destinations in the US. They considered factors like having the most restaurants and attractions per capita, as well as places that were safe, affordable and optimal temperatures.
