The U.S. Travel Association has found that more than 768 million vacation days went unused in 2019 and 55 percent of Americans didn't use all of their allotted time off.
National Plan for Vacation Day, which happens to be today, is one way that the organization is encouraging Americans to take time off, recharge and take a break.
Don't let vacation days go to waste. In honor of National Plan for Vacation Day, several companies are offering special deals that are sure to whet the travel appetite:
