Nearly two in three workers around the world are"vacation deprived," according to a new report published by Expedia.Some 84% of Germans and 69% of French respondents said they feel they don't have enough time off, according to Expedia's"Vacation Deprivation Report" published on June 20. That's despite respondents from both countries taking the most vacation days — 27 days and 29 days, respectively — in the survey.
"The French overwhelmingly view time off as a basic, fundamental right, while Americans seem to treat is as a guilty pleasure," said Christie Hudson, head of public relations for Expedia in the United States."This is why not even a month seems like enough time to the average French worker." Hong Kongers, however, meticulously planned their leave, not allowing a single day to go unused, on average, the report showed. Interestingly, Hong Kong was the only location where workers said they planned to take more time off than they're given, said Hudson.
"In Japan, people take time off every month instead of just twice a year," said Melanie Fish, head of Expedia Group brands public relations.
