Malaysians don’t have enough vacations!

Which nation do you think has the least vacations in the Asia-Pacific?

Malaysia is the most vacation-deprived nation in Asia-Pacific and ranked second globally, a survey by travel site Expedia recently revealed.

The results of the 2015 Vacation Deprivation study indicated that 72.7% of Malaysians saying they feel very or somewhat vacation deprived. Respondents attributed their vacation deprivation to not getting enough vacation days (60.9%).

That doesn’t mean that Malaysians don’t recognise and derive happiness from going on vacations though, said AirAsiaExpedia chief executive officer Jonty Neal. As a matter of fact, 70.5% respondents know the joys of vacations.

Malaysians find that regular vacations are important “in maintaining balance for general health (89.5%), staying connected with friends and family (89.3%) as well as keeping the spark going with one’s significant other (92.7%)”.

“Despite the internal motivations associated with vacationing, Malaysians seem unable to take their holidays, perhaps due to work commitments (38.2%), an objective to carry forward leave days for a longer time out (26.0%) as well as scheduling difficulties with family and friends (29.9%),” he said.

But 32.9% of Malaysians say they can’t afford to take vacations or had to cancel it because of work commitments (56.6%).

On another note, Malaysians would rather take a pay raise than have more leave days. But if they do have more vacation days they want it for travelling to new places (63.5%); taking longer holidays (53.5%) and taking more vacations (52.6%).

“Over 50% of respondents shared that their bosses are supportive of them taking vacations. However, it might come as no surprise that the decision by Malaysians to have more cash in hand supersedes the need for holidays, with nearly seven out of 10 respondents sharing they would rather take a pay raise than have more vacation days,” Neal explained. –the star.

Vacation? Better simpan cuti. Then gunakan cuti ni untuk cuti jangka panjang. Atau kumpul untuk claim duit segedebuk.

Bukannya faktor kerja yg jadi halangan pergi vacation rakyat malaysia.

Masalahnya kebanyakan rakyat Malaysia anggap pergi vacation ni bukan satu keperluan. Bagi diorang, keperluan lain spt berkahwin, beli rumah, Honda City atau Vios lebih penting drpd pergi travel. Yang ada kesedaran nak travel ni selalunya chinese. Tahu sangat sebab company aku bagi subsidi 2/3 yuran tetiap tahun utk buat company trip ke pelbagai tempat di Asia, yg join 40 pax semua chinese kecuali aku dgn sorang lagi je Melayu. Boleh dikira dgn jari. Bila ajak sebelum tu banyak betul alasan.... money constrain.

bukan xsuka g vacation, suka sgt..tp kdg2 kena consider benda lain...
cuti xbanyak, kena bahagi utk balik kg, cuti ry, cuti anak xsihat, cuti emergency..mcm2 lg...
kdg2 kenduri kt kg pn fmly dh kol tny xbalik ke???
xble la nk guna cuti utk g travel ja.nk kena jimat cuti...so xdptla nk g cuti2 selalu...
dulu kalau keja lebih ms ble claim cuti, tp skank dh xble..
xder arahan suh keja lebih ms xble claim...
so harapkan cuti tahunan jelah...
