8 staycation packages to celebrate the holidays if you're not travelling this year end
After getting through the ups and downs of yet another hectic year, it’s time to reward yourself and your loved ones with an end-of-year staycation for some rest and rejuvenation.
Even if leisure travelling has made a return again with the launch of several Vaccinated Travel Lanes (VTL), you may be a little hesitant to pack your bags and jet off for a holiday.
