Travelers swap spring break trips for staycations to avoid coronavirus risk - CNBC

  • As the coronavirus news gets worse, many travelers are putting off booking trips and canceling existing plans.
  • Some have found creative ways to vacation in place.
  • Hotels are offering staycation packages to lure travelers who don’t want to go far from home.
Chris Anderson was planning on taking his kids to Washington, D.C., for their first “Dad and kids road trip” over spring break.

But with the number of coronavirus cases growing in the U.S., Anderson, 44, says his children, ages 9 and 12, will now stay at home in Indianapolis instead. On the agenda: Board games, bike rides and unfortunately for the kids, school work.

“I’ll also use the opportunity to teach the kids skills involving refinishing furniture and home improvement projects,” Anderson said.
