Survey reveals the difference between a trip and a vacation

For most Americans (80%), there is a distinct difference between a “trip” and a “vacation.”

That’s according to a survey of 2,000 U.S. adults, conducted by OnePoll on behalf of Motel 6, with travel plans this summer, which revealed that a “vacation” is most commonly defined as travel for relaxation (53%).

While a “trip” is travel for a purpose, such as an event (32%) or simply getting out of their hometown (30%)

Arriving at the hotel (59%) and getting the first breath of ocean air (47%) are two indications that “vacation mode” is turned on.
