According to WalletHub.com Omaha is ranked within the Top 10 Best Cities for a Staycation. 

"With the economy showing begrudging signs of improvement following an especially tumultuous winter, travel is trending upward as consumers can’t seem to wait for an escape.  More than 36 million people ventured at least 50 miles from home over Memorial Day weekend, according to AAA, and 75% of Americans are planning a summer vacation this year, according to American Express.

But the 2014 summer travel season is also expected to be rather expensive.  Vacationers plan to spend an average of $1,246 per person this summer – a 9% increase from 2013 – due in part to a rise in hotel and airfare costs in popular destinations.  If you don’t feel like you can afford such a hefty tab, you are not alone.  The average household still has roughly $7,000 in credit card debt hanging over their head, we have yet to solve our student loan problems, and full employment is still two years away.

Where does that leave us?  Exploring expert tips for saving on summer travel is a great way to help stretch a budget, but if you’ve got bigger savings goals in mind a staycation might be in order.  Certain cities are obviously more conducive to a staycation than others, though.  From recreation opportunities to the cost of relaxation, there are a number of factors to consider when evaluating whether or not you can bring the benefits of a vacation to your front door.

With that in mind, WalletHub considered 20 of the most important factors – from the number of public golf courses and swimming pools per capita to the cost of maid services – in ranking the 100 largest U.S. cities based on their staycation suitability.  Hopefully our findings can help frugal-minded consumers who are on the fence about staying home or taking a trip make the best decisions for their wallets and enjoy a bit of fun this summer."
