A local getaway does have its merits and it can be as fulfilling as any other holiday. Of course, we’re not trying to compare between an exotic island getaway or a ski trip to a local holiday but this does not mean that it’s any less fun! Here are some good reasons that will inspire you to plan a local getaway.
#1: Pocket friendlier
There’s no need to worry about higher exchange rates and additional costs such as having to hire a car, expensive flight or train tickets.
#2: Support the local economy
Just like travelling to other countries, visiting other states or cities gives you the opportunity to local delicacies and the best part is, each time you stop by local eateries to snack or for a meal, you’re supporting the local economy.
#3: No language barrier
It can get stressful when you’re finding it difficult to communicate with a person due to language barriers. Travelling local makes this issue worry-free.
