Personal finance website WalletHub has released its report on 2018’s best and worst cities for staycations in the US.
It compared more than 180 cities across three key dimensions – recreation, food and entertainment, and rest and relaxation – and evaluated these dimensions using 40 key indicators of a fun-filled and inexpensive staycation.
It found that Honolulu, Hawaii; Chicago, Illinois; and Orlando, Florida – which came first in overall rank and also scored highest in the food and entertainment rank – are the best US cities for staycations. Bridgeport, Connecticut; San Bernardino, California; and Oxnard, California – which had the lowest overall ranking, as well as the lowest ranking for food and entertainment –were found to be among the worst cities for staycations.
WalletHub also found that North Las Vegas has the most zoos and aquariums, Portland has the most parks, Chicago has the most tennis courts and South Burlington has the lowest cost of house cleaning services.
