For most of us, an annual vacation away from home seems to be a normal thing. However, as we can see on this map, it’s not the case for everyone and it varies widely by country.
This map shows us the percentage of households that can afford an annual one week vacation away from home. In most European countries, the majority of households can afford it. In Kosovo (69.5%), Montenegro (67.2%), Romania (62.5%), Turkey (60.8%), Albania (58.3%) and North Macedonia (55.0%), the majority of households can’t afford an annual one week vacation away from home.
Those numbers are a big contrasts with countries like Luxembourg (7.6%), Norway (7.9%), Switzerland (8.4%) and Iceland (8.6%), where less than 10% of households can’t afford an annual one week vacation away from home.
Data for this map comes from the Eurostat.
