Vacation

A vacation (American English) or holiday (British English) is a time for people to relax and take a break from whatever they usually do. A vacation can happen in many different ways. Some people go to a holiday camp, others stay in a trailer, go backpacking, or stay in a hostel or a hotel. Families often take a vacation together. Because the cost of many things is becoming higher, some people are giving up going on vacation to other countries, and are staying in their home country and finding interesting places to go there. This type of trip is known colloquially as a “staycation“.
