Weekend travel is becoming more local, slower and more specialized
Short trips are increasingly built around food, walking, craft, nature and small events rather than a checklist of major attractions.

Specific beats generic

A short trip works better when it has a clear reason to exist: a market, a trail, a regional dish, a museum or a seasonal event.

Less transit, more time

Choosing one compact area can create a richer weekend than spending half the trip moving between distant stops.
