Benefits of Staycations

Here are some benefits of choosing a staycation over an overseas trip:

• Ideal for quick getaways: When leave days are short and you need a short respite, staycations are a great option to de-stress.

• Explore your own city: Staycations are a perfect excuse to find new hidden gems waiting to be discovered in our backyard.

• Support the local community: Frequenting locally-owned businesses can not only allow you to purchase items that are uniquely Singaporean but also sustain our vibrant economy.

• Ease of communication: By sparing yourself from the stress of navigating around the language barrier, you can fully immerse yourself in your staycation.

• We can take pets! De-stress with your beloved pets without constantly worrying that they will be anxious without their owner at home for extended periods.

• Safety in proximity: Unwind with the peace of mind that you can return home at a moment's notice if there is an emergency. 

• No travel hassles and jet lag: Inconveniences like worrying about long queues at customs or struggling to adjust to the time difference won’t take some enjoyment out of your holiday. 

• Less planning required: Enjoy your holiday without the fuss of researching for cheap flights, accommodations and how to get around a foreign country.

• Comparatively cheaper: Cut back on travel expenses like flight tickets and accommodations and relax without breaking the bank.

• You can do it on your own! Move at your own pace and indulge in activities you genuinely enjoy without stressing over the logistics of travelling far from home.
