Domestic tourism is tourism involving residents of one country traveling only within that country. Such a vacation is known as a domestic vacation. For large countries with limited skill in foreign languages, for example Russia, Brazil, Canada, Australia, United States, China and India, domestic tourism plays a very large role in the total tourism sector. In British English this may also be called a staycation, a portmanteau of “stay” and “vacation”, although this is not to be confused the concept of a vacation in which one stays overnight at their own home.
