Staycation（家中度假，還可以拚為stay-cation或stacation）是2007年到2009年經濟危機期間失業率和油價不斷攀升的情況下迅速走紅的一個詞，指一個人或一家人待在家裏休息或者在附近區域景點遊覽度假的一段時光。

Common activities of a staycation include use of the backyard pool, visits to local parks and museums, and attendance at local festivals. Some staycationers also like to follow a set of rules, such as setting a start and end date, planning ahead, and avoiding routine, with the goal of creating the feel of a traditional vacation.
