NOVEMBER 2018 1 WHAT DAYDREAMS ARE MADE OF

This year set your sights on the lands of warmth and good weather, where sun worshippers go for rest and relaxation. A sunny locale is a classic choice – one we’ve yet to see go out of style – but today’s travelers crave more from a vacation destination than just the basics. Luckily, your Virtuoso travel advisor can enhance your getaway to include active excursions, special tours, and other perks, on top of time by the pool. Enjoy, and don’t forget the essentials: sunscreen, a good book, and the quintessential floppy sun hat.

A Roman holiday.

2 WARM-WEATHER GETAWAYS TRAVEL INTEL Survey Says

More Americans are getting up from their desks and out on vacation, according to a recent study by the U.S. Travel Association. While the trend is encouraging, 52 percent of the country’s work-weary still report leaving unused vacation days on the table. (Your Virtuoso travel advisor has ways to remedy that!) Here, a few other depressing findings:

■ Americans forfeited 212 million vacation days in 2017 – equal to $62.2 billion in lost benefits, or $561 per employee.

■ What keeps them from taking vaca- tions? Nearly two-thirds (61 percent) of workers cite the fear of appear- ing replaceable. Other top barriers include a heavy workload and lack of coverage at work (56 percent each).

■ Workcations – travel with the intent of working a regular schedule in a remote location – appeal most to millennials (39 percent), while few- er than one-fifth of baby boomers (18 percent) are excited by the idea.

■ Employees who feel that their com- pany culture encourages vacations are significantly happier with key components of their lives than those who don’t.

What are you waiting for? Life is short – take the trip!
