Staycations Are Trending: Atlanta Events Worth Staying Home For In June

ATLANTA — Summer travel is still popular, but high costs are increasing the appeal of local outings, day trips and staycations to Georgia families.

Travel trends nationwide suggest more people are staying close to home this year due to higher oil and gas prices. Some 71 percent of Americans plan road trips for summer vacations, according to Hilton’s 2026 Trends Report.

Another study, by Bank of America, found consumers are responding to higher gas prices by taking fewer trips, reducing travel budgets, cutting back on accommodations, or choosing destinations closer to home.
