Have you been wondering what is the meaning of staycation?
To ease the furious debate about the definition of a ‘staycation’, a new at-a-glance glossary (one-page summary attached) has been issued to help 2020 holidaymakers find the right word to describe their never-to-be-forgotten 2020 holiday experience.
Tom Messett, founder of Stampapp.me, said: “There’s no question that this will be a memorable year for holidaymakers. Despite the difficulties, pubs, restaurants, takeaways, hotels and B&Bs are doing all that they can to welcome guests. To help avoid squabbling about what to call their break on their postcards and Instagram posts, we’ve assembled a simple guide to the options for holidaymakers.”
