National Plan for Vacation Day is here. January 31st is a day set aside to encourage Americans to plan their vacation throughout the year at the start of the year. Taking time off is associated with higher productivity, performance, more positive attitude towards work and in improved mental and physical health. Yet less than half (49%) of households set aside time to plan the use of their vacation time each year. Now is the time to plan those vacations and put those days to good use.
We have compiled a few Virginia travel discounts and specials to help you plan and entice you to book your travel plans early. While some of these deals are available to book throughout the spring season, a few are flash deals that expire in 24 hours, so book as soon as possible to ensure you get the best prices!
