According to a national movement run by a coalition of former tourism professionals, called Project: Time Off, Americans do not use 658 million vacation days annually. In addition, less than 49% of households set aside time to plan. Over half of those that planned took all of their vacation time and reported increased happiness in relationships with family, children and partners.
It is easy to see how the Franklin County Visitors Bureau can help plan the time to get away, bond with family and strengthen relationships. Planning is the most important step in getting much-needed rest and relaxation and Franklin County has many ways to rest and relax.
