About 27% of the population of the European Union over the age of 16 did not allow a holiday week away from home last year, it appears from the research published Monday by the European Statistics Office (Eurostat).
We are talking about a share of 1.5% lower than 2023 and 10.6% lower than a decade ago, in 2014.
Of the Europeans who have not allowed a week of holiday a year, the Romanians (58.6%), the Greeks (46%) and the Bulgarians (41.4%) are ranked.
On the other hand, only 8.9% of the citizens of Luxembourg, 11.6% of Sweden and 13% of the Netherlands did not allow them to spend a week of holiday a year away from home in 2024.
As a general level, there is, however, a general tendency to improve the material status in the EU, where fewer people give up holidays, with a bad situation in Romania, even though our country has evolved since 2010 about the revenues of the average population.
In 2020, after the pandemic, several Romanians went on holidays than usual, but the situation descended in 2022.
