概要	Staycations is a term used to refer to the practice of taking a holiday or vacation close to home. It is a form of domestic tourism where the tourists stay within or close to their home destination region. Prior to the COVID 19 pandemic, concerns over the sustainability of tourism as a global socio-economic activity prompted calls for staycations to be embraced as a form of tourism that could be more sustainable, especially for small communities. The COVID 19 pandemic has meant that in many countries staycations are the only form of holiday available or likely to be available for the next several years. For tourism researchers this has been an under-researched area lacking the appeal of exploring global patterns and destinations. For tourism practitioners staycations can be challenging. Staycations require changes to promotional campaigns. This webinar seeks to explore these challenges, identify further challenges and offer some solutions and future directions for small communities seeking to develop their staycation potential.
