Time to plan that dream vacation... or staycation! Tuesday, Jan. 27, is National Plan for Vacation Day, which encourages you to plan your annual vacations and use your yearly paid time off (PTO), especially for activities that help you relax and recharge!
According to the U.S. Travel Association, Americans who plan out their PTO end up taking more time off to travel, relieve the pressure of making last-minute decisions, and provide you with more options before opportunities book up. Planning is part of the fun, as well, giving you something to look forward to.
“While it might be chilly outside right now, there’s no better time to start planning your trip to the beach,” said Stuart Butler, President, Visit Myrtle Beach. “Use this time spent indoors to explore our visitors guide at VisitMyrtleBeach.com to find a wealth of resources and discounts to enjoy the warmer months with a well-deserved beach getaway.”
