According to a recent study, USA staycationers will travel less in 2022. The study found that the main reason for this is economic conditions. Nearly 60% of those surveyed said they would take fewer trips due to financial concerns, while only 14% said they would travel more. This is a significant shift from previous years when more people said they would travel more.
Type of Trips by USA Staycationers
The study also found that the type of trips USA staycationers are taking is changing. In 2020, the most popular types of trips were to visit family and friends, followed by beach vacations and camping trips. However, in 2022, the most popular type of trip will be to visit national parks. This is likely due to the fact that national parks are more affordable than other types of vacations.
So, if you're planning a trip in 2022, it's important to keep these changes in mind. Whether you're looking to save money or visit a new place, there are plenty of options for great staycations. Just be sure to do your research before you book anything.

To start, if you have EV charging points at your properties, now is a time to shout from the rooftops about it on your social media and email lists, as well as your listings on the OTAs.
Search on Google to see if listing websites have been created to list vacation properties with EV charging points.
