Dupe Vacations are Trending

The Virgin Islands instead of the Bahamas.

A new report says that people are fighting rising costs by researching so-called “vacation dupes.” Basically, finding something similar that’s cheaper…even if it isn’t quite as luxurious.

Maybe your idea of a waterfront vacation in Bora Bora could be subbed out for one in San Diego. Actually, you may even need to dupe that, and replace it with Myrtle Beach. In a poll, 61% of Americans say they’d be interested in a “dupe.” But not everyone would broadcast it. 28% of people say they wouldn’t reveal that they were doing the “lite” version of another destination.
Some other examples include Memphis, instead of Nashville. Napa, Aalifornia over Tuscany, Italy. The Virgin Islands instead of the Bahamas.
