Are gas prices, rising costs, and travel concerns keeping you from planning a vacation? Then a staycation is your perfect solution this summer. Check out these tips from Buckle to enjoy an adventure close to home while helping the destinations, restaurants, and gig workers in your local community thrive.
JERSEY CITY, N.J., Aug. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- As the final weeks of summer approach, many Americans remain uncertain about whether to plan travel. Concerns including many flights being cancelled, the high cost of gas and rising inflation putting pressure on their budgets, and potentially getting sick far from home are all considerations driving these decisions.
A recent study by personal finance site Bankrate found that nearly seven in ten American adults (or 70%) who say they will vacation this summer anticipate making changes to their plans because of the high level of inflation, with 25% traveling shorter distances, and 23% planning less-expensive activities. Among people planning to vacation, a staycation was the second most popular option behind a beach trip.
To help those choosing to stay close to home, Buckle, a financial services company serving the gig economy and rising middle class, is sharing staycation ideas that are fun for everyone.
Allowing gig delivery and rideshare drivers to do the driving for you or bring your favorite meals to wherever your local adventures may lead takes all the pressure off and allows you to simply enjoy your vacation time.
"There are no headaches or hassles with a staycation because you have the ultimate control. It's the perfect way to have an adventure in your community while helping the destinations, restaurants, and gig workers in local economies thrive," says Gordon Ho, Chief Marketing Officer of Buckle.
