Kick off the New Year with a trip to Myrtle Beach
In an effort to encourage visitors to make vacation time a priority in 2019, several Myrtle Beach area properties are offering discounts including up to 35 per cent off entire stays, free nights, free late check-outs and more.
Unused vacation time is a recurring issue nationwide and has been highlighted in the US Travel Association’s Project: Time Off initiative and annual State of American Vacation report. The 2018 report revealed the beginnings of change may be at hand, but more than half of Americans are still leaving vacation time on the table. Furthermore, less than half of vacation time taken is being used for travel – and those who are not traveling during their time off report lower overall rates of happiness. To combat this, the US Travel Association established National Plan for Vacation Day, which is dedicated to encouraging Americans to plan their vacation days for the rest of the year at the start of the year. The holiday will be celebrated on January 29, 2019.
“Vacation time goes unused year after year, and we want to emphasize the importance of reversing that trend. Starting the year off right by planning a trip is a great step in that direction,” said Karen Riordan, president and CEO of Visit Myrtle Beach. “Taking time off is a proven way to reduce stress and improve mental and physical health, and Myrtle Beach’s 60 miles of pristine coastline provide the perfect, serene atmosphere to unplug, unwind and relax with loved ones.”
