In essence, a staycation is just a change from your usual place of residence to a new place within the city you live in. It sounds simple, but this change brings many positive changes to people's moods, especially young people.
Most accommodation establishments tend to bring in many natural elements to change the atmosphere for customers in big cities.
CHANGE YOUR MOOD BY CHANGING YOUR PLACE OF STAYING
Ngo Toan Trung (Can Tho) is currently a Content Creator, and often chooses staycation as a form of "relief" after stressful working days. Instead of going far, he just needs to find a homestay to rest on weekends.

"Nowadays, many young people are so busy with work that they have little time for long trips. Arranging a comfortable enough time for a long trip is more difficult than ever. Mostly for that reason, people want to 'change the wind' with a staycation," Trung said.
For him, staycation brings a "gentle" experience: saving money and time. Trung often chooses staycation as a way to balance work and life with finding a new place to live for a short time. This is a good way to "detox" the mind, eliminate negative emotions, and bring new inspiration to life and work.

Sharing his views on the growing staycation trend, Le Vu Huynh Hoa (Ben Tre), currently a Travel Content Creator, said: "Besides the time limit, young people or couples want to change their sleeping place to refresh their emotions. In addition, staycation brings a feeling of relaxation in a place not too far from home, which can save on travel costs such as plane tickets and buses."

"Staycation is a way to relax without spending too much money and time," Hoa shared. She cited that with a cost of only 1-2 million VND, she and her companion had a desired vacation right in the city for 1-2 days.
In addition to the cost and time factors, Hoa likes staycations because she can separate herself from the hustle and bustle outside, focusing on immersing herself in green spaces to relax. It is a suitable break for herself to enjoy and balance her life, so we can do it whenever we have free time.
CRITERIA TO CONSIDER FOR A COMPLETE STAYCATION
Staycations are often considered more cost-effective than long-term trips away from where you live. In fact, many city-based accommodation models also offer luxurious, high-class experiences at a cost that is not very friendly to the wallet.
Trung pays attention to the convenience and comfort of the apartment.
As well as safety, privacy.
However, cost is not the top priority for Toan Trung for a staycation. "I care more about changing my mood and refreshing my working and sleeping environment than about cost and time," Trung shared.
A fully furnished accommodation space, with investment in space, swimming pool, screen, kitchen. A space that ensures privacy and quietness is the priority criteria that Trung gives to find a suitable place to stay. Meanwhile, Hoa looks for tropical-style places with swimming pools and green trees - a bit like a resort near the sea in the heart of the city.
Tropical style, lots of greenery.
The location of the space is probably the next thing to consider. Not only staying within the premises, staycation is also an opportunity to explore the city you are living in from the perspective of a tourist. While Hoa prefers places located in quiet alleys, Trung wants the accommodation to be in a central location, close to convenient dining areas and shops.
Depending on your needs and budget, you can find a place to stay that suits your ability on many different booking platforms. As someone with a lot of staycation experience, Trung said that in the current market, the minimum price for a day and night with a staycation accommodation model is around 800,000 VND.
The minimum price is about 800,000 VND for the staycation model.
Service and customer reviews are also factors you need to consider when choosing a place to stay that suits your needs. Nowadays, accommodation businesses want to maximize the comfort of many customer groups.
For Trung, an ideal staycation location does not require a 24/7 receptionist presence or many staff in the area. They will stay behind to create a comfortable feeling for customers, present when requested. Huynh Hoa, on the other hand, considers the benefits for customers at accommodation facilities as a factor worth considering.
Considering the service style and services of the accommodation is also a must.
