4. Unites States:

20 percent of the Americans didn’t travel for more than a year, which is the second highest among other countries. They are supposed to get less holidays in 2011, but then also couldn’t make the most of it. The top reason for other countries for not having vacations is monetary, but American workers don’t have any such problems as they are most financially sound. Rather they have a different crisis i.e. they can’t afford to take a vacation time. They treat vacation as an extravagance rather than a mode of revitalization of mind.

5. India:

India ranks fifth in this list. Out of 25 provided holidays, Indians wastes 20 percent of it. “In India, vacations tend to be viewed as a guilty habit, as many as 54 percent Indians spend vacations usually secretly checking emails. One can assume that the days not availed are spent working in Offices” Manmeet Ahluwalia, marketing head of Expedia India said on this note. Indians like to earn cash for their unused holidays rather than planning one. Because of their workplace commitments, they end up being destitute towards their holidays. 62 percent of the employed Indians postpone their vacation for work. Most of the Indians prefer beaches for holidays.
