Staycation Trends in Millennials for Instagramable Posts

JawaPos.com - Trends staycation or take a vacation but in a location that is close and carried out in the city is indeed booming millennial. One of them is for the reason of the need to post on social media.

Hotel Practitioner and Staycation Performer, Paundra Hanutama explained that Staycation was the first time in the United States where the economic crisis occurred in 2007-2010. At that time, people who were dominated by millennials still wanted a budget-saving vacation. So instead of having to travel to a distant state, it's better to use the money for a vacation in the city.

"From the discussions and sources I read about Staycation, it began with the crisis in the US. Because there is an influence of the economic crisis but I still want a vacation and reward myself, so stay a close stay, "explained Paundra to JawaPos.com recently.

According to him, Staycation consists of the origin of the words Stay and Vacation. So he insisted Staycation only vacation in the city.

"Unfortunately there are many shifts in meaning. Even though staycation is a holiday near where you live. If people say staycation to Bali ah, staycation to Jogjakarta ah, even though his house is in Jakarta or its surroundings, that's wrong. That's called Vacation. If staycation is only in a city that is close to a residence, "explained Paundra.

There are 2 groups

According to him, staycation actors consist of 2 groups. The first group is carried out by the family. The second group is carried out by millennial.

"The goal is to both vacation near the home area. For example I like Staycation in Kemang, Jakarta, even though my home is in East Jakarta. In the midst of frenetic traffic jams and busy work, May Me Time and pamper yourself. Relax for a moment rather than me having to go to Singapore or Bali, "he explained.

For families, they usually prefer a vacation staycation between 2-3 days. While millennial generally 1 day.

"The average length of stay is 1.5 days. So if the family is usually 2-3 days, millennial is only 1 day, "explained Paundra.

For the sake of Social Media

According to Paundra, millennial trends in staycation generally only want to document photos or videos for the sake of posting on social media. So no wonder, even if staying for only 1 day or 1 night, millennials can even carry more than 1 suitcase. That's all for the sake of photos or Outfit of the Day.

"Just like me, usually I can carry more than 1 suitcase. Even though it's just a funny style of drinking coffee in one corner of the hotel, but the style of clothes is funny, "he said.

And unique again, Staycation among millennials is usually done in groups. The goal is to save budget and there are other parties who document photos.

"Usually order only one room but can be four or five. Yes, it's up to ya comfortable or not in one room. The important thing is posting, the era is showing off, and there are friends who take pictures of us, "he explained. The same thing was revealed by Marcia Audita, one of the millennial who works in South Jakarta. The 25-year-old millennial chose the location of a stay that is Instagramable, hits and up to date. Usually he brings 2 pairs of clothes to take pictures funny.

"I usually runway weekends when I steal time in the middle of the weekend. Choose a staycation location that is easily accessible to your place of residence. For example, a house in Depok, so close to the south. What is unique, good location, certainly affordable. The goal is only to release fatigue, "he said.
