Workplace flexibility is helping Americans take longer trips this holiday season

Workplace Flexibility Fuels Holiday Travel

This holiday season, Americans are embarking on longer trips thanks to the growing embrace of workplace flexibility. Remote work options and hybrid schedules allow travelers to squeeze in extra days of vacation without sacrificing professional responsibilities.

The surge in flexibility has freed up time, enabling employees to make the most of their holiday downtime. This year, the average American traveler is planning to spend nine days away from home, compared to six days in 2019.

This shift is not only beneficial for employees’ well-being but also for the economy as travel spending boosts local businesses and supports the hospitality industry.
