對(duì)女孩子來說，幾個(gè)閨密湊在一起出去度假，晚上聚在一個(gè)屋子里來個(gè)girl talk，這是再正常不過的事了。不過，近幾年，這種做法開始在男同胞中間流行起來。幾個(gè)哥們兒相約出去度假，來個(gè)地道的mancation，聽著好像也不錯(cuò)哦。

The concept of a gender specific trip has been around since the first caveman took his club and went hunting with the others in the tribe. Yet, mancation has become a buzzword in the travel business lately.

雖說同性出游這樣的形式在人類始祖山頂洞人拿著棍棒跟部落同伴出去狩獵的時(shí)期就已經(jīng)存在了，“男性假期”（mancation）這個(gè)詞在旅游業(yè)開始流行卻是最近才有的事兒。

Tapping into the success of marketing all-girls getaway packages, hotels and resorts have started featuring all-male bonding vacation packages that include everything from poker, to extreme sports, to spa treatments. Golfing is the most popular activity for all-male vacation groups, but destinations have developed unique programs to accommodate the growing trend. The latest mancation packages offer spiritual healing, culinary instruction, and yoga.

酒店和景點(diǎn)從之前開發(fā)女性出游計(jì)劃的成功案例中獲得靈感，開始策劃只有男性團(tuán)體參加的度假方案，內(nèi)容包括撲克游戲、極限運(yùn)動(dòng)以及水療等。高爾夫是男性度假團(tuán)體最喜歡的項(xiàng)目，不過很多景點(diǎn)都開發(fā)了一些獨(dú)特的項(xiàng)目來吸引日漸壯大的這一度假群體。最新推出的項(xiàng)目有精神治療、烹飪培訓(xùn)以及瑜伽等。
