According to Expedia's 24th annual Vacation Deprivation Report, released on June 20, 2024, 53% of Americans don't plan to use all their allotted vacation days this year, despite having just 12 days off annually—the fewest of any country surveyed. American vacation deprivation has hit an 11-year high at 65%, contrasting with declines in other parts of the world. In Japan, where workers take similar days off, vacation deprivation is lowest globally at 53%. French workers enjoy the most days off at 29, seeing vacations as a right. Hong Kong workers, unique in using more days than allocated, plan to continue this trend. Expedia suggests Americans can adopt global strategies like frequent short vacations and prioritizing rest.
