Staycation is leading the domestic travel trend.

Staycation is now the keyword that leads domestic travel trend. Until 2018, pensions (91,801 cases) held the no. 1 spot in the accommodation related field, but from 2019, hotels (110,744 cases) have taken over that spot. Why are the travelers these days go to hotels?

Why we go for staycation

Five-star hotels are providing various packages that reflect the travelers’ tastes.

Take a moment to reflect on the word staycation. Crisp white bedding, luxurious amenities, quiet, relaxing space, fine dining where star chefs show off seasonal produce dishes… these are the things we anticipate when we plan a five-star hotel staycation.

Among those who enjoy traveling, there are those who are attracted to crowed places, and there are those who wish to enjoy the tranquil suburbs away from the city center. What’s certain is that staycation is closer to the latter. While avoiding various inconveniences caused by over populating tourists, in other words, over-tourism, travelers who desire quiet and refreshing trips opt for hotels.

Recently, with the activation of 52hr/week working hour system, the number of people reserving hotels on Thursdays rose by 21% compared to the last year. This is a notable change. Office workers who take a day off on Friday or adjust their working hours prefer a short-term rest rather than plan a long-term trip. Also, as hotels often provide special price promotions for weekdays at reasonable prices, this trend is likely to continue.

Five-star hotels are showcasing more promotions and packages that reflect the various traveler tastes as the demand for staycation increases. Let’s take a look at the staycation trend through Haevichi Hotel & Resort Jeju (hereafter Haevichi)’s package products.

A luxurious staycation with fragrant amenities

You can purchase the original amenities Haevichi collection for all staycation packages.

One of the main reasons why staycation became a trend is that it allows you to escape your everyday life and destress your body and mind in a completely different environment. Clean bedding that’s hard to come by unless you take care of it every day and pampering yourself with luxurious body products are enough reason to invest in staycation.

Haevichi also meticulously produces their own amenities for all package guests under the ‘Haevichi collection’. It includes the light and fluffy goose Haevichi bedding set and Haevichi bath amenities inspired by Jejudo island nature, etc. The bath amenities are especially well-known as they are a collaboration product with the Italian custom perfumery Aqua Flor’s perfume master Sileno Cheloni. Sileno Cheloni created the three things you can think of about Jeju wind, stone, and women (haenyeo, a female diver) into a refreshing woody, fruity citrus scent. If you’ve enjoyed the amenities during your staycation and wish to purchase them, there’s no worry. All Haevichi collection products are available at Jejudo island!

Spring is upon us. If you wish to get out but can’t be bothered to make big plans, go for a trip to a hotel. Roll around in clean bedding and spend leisurely hours at the pool or go on a picnic. Short but sure happiness is the reason why we go on staycations.
