Short Vacations do little good: Study

According to a study that has been recently published by an European Mobile home company, "KeyCamp", short vacations have very little benefit towards a person's health. People on vacations do not begin to relax until their third day off. So, forget about those "daycations" and weekend getaways. What you really need is a week or so off work. They also found out that the first day is usually very exhausting due to all the flight booking, preparing and, traveling.

Research has also shown that people who take more frequent vacations tend to live longer.
Longer vacations can also be a good thing for employers because employees usually come back fresh and refreshed and thus will take fewer sick days off.

In short what I would advise people to take full advantage of their vacation. Also, instead of taking a lot of days off at any one particular time, try and spreading out those days, so that they are more frequent.

Vacation Days A Year (Employed adults, on average)
Canada: 17
United States: 14
Spain: 31
Italy: 33

P.S- no wonder people in Italy and Spain live so long, they aren't as stressed as us North Americans.
