New research1<\/sup> from leading travel app Expedia\u00ae<\/sup><\/a> reveals the over-scheduled holiday season has prompted many Americans to plan a \u201cnothing-cation,\u201d a trip where warm weather and relaxation are the main attractions. According to a survey of 4,000 U.S. travelers conducted during December, more than a third (34%) report feeling burned out from the holidays, and nearly everyone surveyed (96%) plans to spend a portion of their next trip doing absolutely nothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Expedia internal data confirms January is one of the top months for researching and booking beach vacations, which is a favorite trip type for nothing-cationers. On average, about a quarter of getaways planned during the first month of the year are to beach destinations<\/a>, and many hotspots including Cancun, Riviera Maya, Punta Cana and Oahu are already seeing double-digit increases in demand compared to the same time in 2019.2<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When nothing is really something:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Expedia\u2019s research, nearly half (47%) of travelers say they like to start off the new year with a trip on the calendar to look forward to, as a remedy for feeling anxious (31%) or tired of cold and rainy weather (34%) in January. Furthermore, most (62%) agree that \u201cdoing nothing\u201d is their favorite part of vacation and consider it time well-spent (61%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parents of young children (4 years old and under) are particularly in need of a nothing-cation<\/a>, reporting higher levels of post-holiday burnout than average (49% compared to 34%). For them, a successful nothing-cation consists of watching movies in bed, reading and ordering room-service rather than dining out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plan a nothing-cation to remember:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Travelers will have a chance to win $4,500 in Expedia points on January 18, 2023, by following @expedia<\/a> on Tiktok, to use on a nothing-cation of their own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
