Title: Can staycations contribute to a territorial transition towards slow recreation?
Abstract: This article presents the origins of the staycation (from 'stay' and 'vacation'; literally to stay at home for one's vacation) phenomenon and its potential impacts (economic, social, environmental) on territories. Based on recent figures and current trends in both society and tourism and recreation, staycations are likely to experience increasing interest over time. In addition, to a significant extent staycations appear consistent with slow tourism principles. It might be concluded that staycations could lead territories to a transition towards slow tourism and recreation activity, but could it? The article discusses the issues and challenges faced by territories in such a hypothesis, including tourism and regional policy implications.
