Well this article started out as one, but has turned into four! We hope you’re still with us. This is the last installment of our 2016 visit to Belgium (part 4 is Germany).

TORONTO, Oct. 19, 2016 /CNW/ – Most Canadians would like an additional 11.5 more vacation days per year, according to the latest annual “Vacation Deprivation” survey from Expedia.ca. But would they take them? In 2016 Canadians received an average of 17.3 vacation days but will use only 14 of them. That adds up to nearly 31 million unused vacation days and more than $5.5 billion in wages handed back to employers!
