national plan for vacation day

Every year on the last Tuesday in January, travel advisors all across the country observe a totally made-up holiday called “National Plan for Vacation Day, a holiday that exists solely to remind us to start planning our vacations and to actually take some time off.

If you have to be told why vacations are important, well, that’s a good indication that you might need a vacation, yourself. A few things are obvious, like:

  • Vacations help people spend quality time with their family and friends.

  • Vacations help with your mental health, and your wellness, in general.

  • Vacations allow you to reset your work-life balance.

But there are other reasons to take vacations beyond the basic “do something good for yourself.” Vacations also lead to an increase in travel and tourism, which is a key economic driver for local communities around the world.

We’re not going to quote the (horrifying) statistics about how many people leave their vacation days unused every year. You’ve probably heard that before. But we can tell you this — our best supplier partners, the tour operators, hotels and resorts, cruise lines, and destination management companies are all offering phenomenal promotions right now. And we’d love to send you somewhere. So, give us a ring, and let us help you plan your next vacation!
