Industry Research Finds Americans Work More and Vacation Less
According
to the study, Americans took an average of 16 days of vacation last year, which
is the lowest of any point in the last four decades and well below the average
of 20.3 days as recently as 2000. As a result, new incentive travel trends are
changing to reflect the needs of today's changing demographics.
"If
this trend continues, the vacations of our childhoods could be a thing of the
past, completely unknown by the next generation. That would be a true loss for
our families and our country," said U.S. Travel Association President and
CEO Roger Dow.
“Every day more corporations are
increasing the number of incentive travel programs they offer as quality travel
experiences increase retention, morale and productivity,” said Mark Benson, CMP, Applied Meetings & Hospitality Solutions.
