These Are The Best And Worst GA Cities For Staycations: Report
GEORGIA — With the rise of inflation, some Georgians may opt for staycations instead of vacations this summer. That’s why WalletHub made a list of fun-filled yet wallet-friendly cities for staycations.
If you’re looking to stay home or close to home this summer, the personal finance website ranked the best and worst cities for staycations in the U.S. Three Georgia cities made the top 175 and neither landed in the top 100.
“It’s fun to visit an exotic location on vacation, but during rougher economic times, a staycation can save you a lot of money while being just as memorable,” WalletHub analyst Cassandra Happe said. “Not only do you avoid the cost of overnight accommodations and minimize travel costs, but you can also discover all kinds of fun activities close to home that you might not have tried out otherwise. Plus, you’ll feel more rested if you spend less time in transit and more time sleeping in your own bed.”
Orlando, Florida, took the top spot in the nation, followed by Honolulu, Hawaii; Cincinnati, Ohio; Las Vegas, Nevada; and Tampa, Florida.
These are the cities in Georgia that made the rankings. National rankings are in parentheses:
- Atlanta (No. 8)
- Augusta (No. 189)
- Columbus (No. 113)
Atlanta scored in the top 10 for food & entertainment and in the top 20 for rest & relaxation options; August scored in the top 10 for rest and relaxation, but very low for recreation choices.
