Consumer Survey Reveals List of Top 15 Staycation Activities, Top 5 Reasons for Them, Reports Pentair Aquatic Systems' Poolfyi
(firmenpresse) - SANFORD, NC -- (Marketwire) -- 05/08/12 -- Consumers on staycations like to spend time at pools, parties and eating out, and the majority of them plan their local adventures to save money and avoid high gas prices, according to a recent survey of consumers at ' social community, .
While the idea of a staycation varies among families, the survey's results indicate that "people enjoy many of the same activities on their staycations -- and their first choice is finding the nearest pool or spa," said Carlos Del Amo, VP of global marketing at Pentair Aquatic Systems, a manufacturer of pool and spa equipment.
When it comes to staycations, consumers like to stay active: one out of three staycationers will tend to house or garden work, hit the beach, plan a road trip, catch a movie -- or visit a local venue such as a museum, the poolfyi survey found.
Staycationers stay in the area to save both money and time. Nearly one out of two consumers plans a staycation to deal with fewer travel-related hassles and spend more quality time with family and friends, the poolfyi survey found.
"Staycations clearly aren't all about savings," Del Amo said. "People see staycations as a great way to maximize their precious time off."
Consumers also use their staycations to catch up on everyday leisure. One out of four staycationers reads, cooks or plays sports, the poolfyi survey found.
The staycation survey was conducted online over one month at Pentair's poolfyi. The survey asked respondents to select their favorite staycation activities and their reasons for planning a staycation.
