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.
Among Germans, however, only 42% said they feel their employers are supportive of them taking their vacation time, the lowest rate across all markets, said Hudson. "In 2024, 15% of Hong Kongers plan on taking 31 vacation days, exceeding the average allotted 25.5 days," said Hudson."It's an interesting finding and could be linked to the fact that they seem to have a strong pro-PTO culture: 80% of Hong Kong workers agree that their employers are supportive of employees taking their vacation time, which is one of the highest rates globally.
Many schedule these mini-breaks around federal and school holidays to allow for quick, yet frequent breaks from their routines, according to the report.Americans, on the other hand, tend to save their time off for a big annual trip, which is associated with why they tend to allow some annual leave to go unused, it said.
