With a third of people admitting they send more emails to their boss than their partner or closest friend, a Hilton Hotels & Resorts study reveals Britons give more time to their jobs than their relationships. The flagship brand of Hilton Worldwide finds more than a third of couples believe they don't have a good work-life balance. Recognising the impact of Vacationitis on relationships, Hilton announces rates starting from just £65 so guests can save up to 20% off selected minibreaks worldwide, along with a romance package with special amenities to spark a 'Romance Revolution'.
To help us get a better understanding of the growing Vacationitis epidemic in the United Kingdom, we commissioned a study among 2,000 workers in the U.K. The results speak for themselves: Britons enjoy just eight days of their average 24 days annual leave because the rest of the time is taken up with ‘domestic admin’.
