New Poll Shows Strong American Support for a Paid Vacation Law
July 30, 2008
STUDY SHOWS WORKERS RUN RISK OF BURNOUT FROM TOO LITTLE VACATION! NEW VACTION WEB SITE LAUNCHED!
July 2008 — A new poll (http://www.timeday.org/right2vacation/poll_results.asp) finds that more than two-thirds of Americans support a law that would guarantee paid vacations for American workers.
The scientific telephone sample of 1,002 Americans was conducted by The Opinion Research Corporation, a leading professional pollster, during the week of June 23, 2008. Take Back Your Time has launched a new web site (www.right2vacation.org) to help Americans get what they want.
The poll found 69% of Americans saying they would support a paid vacation law, with the largest percentage of respondents favoring a law guaranteeing three weeks vacation or more. Take Back Your Time advocates a three-week paid vacation law. Americans under 35 (83%), African-Americans (89%), Hispanic-Americans (82%), and low-income Americans (82%) were the strongest supporters of such a law, as were residents of the Northeast (75%) and the South (72%). 75% of women and 63% of men support a paid vacation law. 74% of families with children support such a law. Every demographic showed majority support for a law. Overall, only 27% of those polled were opposed to a paid vacation law.
NOT ENOUGH TIME OFF TO AVOID BURNOUT
Americans were also asked how many weeks of vacation are best to prevent “burnout.” 52% said they need three weeks or more and 82% said they needed at least two weeks.
Disturbingly though, the survey showed that among working Americans, 28% took no vacation time at all last year, half took a week or less, and two-thirds got less than two weeks off. The median time off for all workers was 8.2 days, far below the three weeks that most cited as the optimum to prevent burnout, much less actually relax and enjoy themselves.
A growing body of evidence suggests that burnout is just one of the negative consequences of too little vacation time. Studies have firmly established that men who don’t take vacations are 32% more likely to die of heart attacks and women are 50% more likely. Lack of vacation time doubles rates of depression for women. After vacations, workers gain an hour per night of quality sleep and their reaction times are 30-40% faster, improvements that last for several months.
“American work-life is out of balance and this poll shows people know it,” said Cecile Andrews, chair of the Take Back Your Time board. “The only difference between dinosaurs and American vacations is that dinosaurs are already extinct. We are losing the breaks we need to stay healthy, avoid stress and bond with our families. It’s certainly a shame that neither Presidential candidate has addressed this issue. Maybe this poll will get them to take notice.”
NEW RIGHT2VACATION WEB SITE LAUNCHED
Take Back Your Time has just launched a new Web site- www.right2vacation.org - promoting the idea of a paid vacation law.
Mixing hard science and a lighthearted touch to make a very serious case, the site includes the latest research on the impacts of too little vacation time, as well as more than three dozen humorous and powerful posters that can be downloaded, printed and posted to call attention to the campaign and ways to get involved.
“The site is fun, just like vacations are,” said Joe Robinson, author of Work to Live, and a leader of the campaign. “The United States is the only wealthy country without a paid vacation law. We’re the capital of burnout and it’s costing all of us hundreds of billions of dollars a year. We can change that with a law guaranteeing vacations to workers. We need time to enjoy the fruits of our labor. Fun is not a four-letter word. But this would actually make businesses more productive too.”
“Vacations are so important for family bonding,” said William Doherty, professor of Family Social Science at the University of Minnesota. “Some of the strongest memories from childhood involve family vacations. And yet, far fewer families are taking them now.”
NEW EPIDEMIC SPREADING THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES: IRRITABLE GROWL SYNDROME
“Take Back Your Time’s medical team has discovered a new disease that has rapidly been spreading throughout the US in recent years,” said Executive Director John de Graaf. “Ever notice that people seem crankier, there’s lots of road rage, we’re all impatient? Do you feel like screaming at your computer to hurry up sometimes? Nerves frazzled by overwork and constant rushing lead to angry snarls. We call it ‘Irritable Growl Syndrome.’ It’s definitely hard on Americans’ health and there’s no pill to cure it. Our workers need a real ‘pause that refreshes,’ and the most promising is more vacation time. Time to unwind from the ever-increasing stresses of the workplace.”
Take Back Your Time believes that the lack of vacation time in the United States is a serious problem, as the new poll indicates. A law guaranteeing paid vacations would allow us to catch up to other nations (for example, every European worker gets a minimum of four weeks paid vacation). It would lead to higher hourly productivity and reduce the escalating cost of health care, by making all Americans healthier. It’s not rocket science; it’s common sense. Every other wealthy country in the world realizes that.

Green Living Project™ Launches Sustainability Platform
July 29, 2008
New media production and marketing company documents unique and successful sustainability projects across Africa and North America in 2008
Los Angeles, CA (July 29th, 2008) – Green Living ProjectTM is a media production, marketing, and entertainment company that showcases sustainability initiatives. The company officially launched today its unique sustainability platform to market and promote stories about successful sustainability projects around the globe. Through multi-media production and distribution strategies, Green Living Project aims to educate and inspire individuals and communities to adopt a more sustainable lifestyle.
In 2008, Green Living Project (GLP) highlights Africa, documenting sustainability projects administered by leading non-profits, conservation organizations, travel companies, eco-lodges, local tourism boards, and private companies. The project themes include renewable energy, urban sustainability, responsible tourism, green building, organic farming, community development, wildlife conservation, and waste management. The GLP media production team was in East Africa this past spring working with organizations such as African Wildlife Foundation, The Gorilla Organization, and Rwanda Tourism Board, to document 16 different projects throughout Uganda, Rwanda, and Tanzania. The company will also launch a new domestic production schedule this fall.
Using HD video, still photography, and audio recording techniques, GLP will promote targeted projects on its website (www.greenlivingproject.com) and through select online content partners. In addition, these sustainability projects will be featured through the international “Green Living Project Lecture Series” in partnership with National Geographic Adventure, Recreational Incorporated, Inc. (R.E.I.), and other strategic partners and sponsors.
“Green Living Project assures us that environmental and cultural degradation can be reversed. The great impact GLP is making flows from celebrating activism and success rather than documenting proof of the threats our world faces. GLP shows people restoring their cultural/natural resources and fostering a greater engagement from travelers and their hosts alike,” said Fran Farrell, publisher of National Geographic Adventure. “We are delighted that National Geographic Adventure has been able to support Green Living Project’s work and we couldn’t be more pleased to see how quickly their vision has become a compelling reality.”
“The past year and a half has been an exciting time as we have quickly laid the foundation and put together a solid management team for our unique style of media production and marketing,” said Rob Holmes, founder and president of Green Living Project. “This unique sustainability platform has attracted wide support from the non-profit, conservation, corporate, and media sectors based on the growing importance of living, supporting, and promoting sustainable lifestyles. And while we are actively planning three new international media expeditions to Africa and South America in the next six months, we also look forward to launching our highly anticipated domestic production schedule this fall.”

B & R’s “DESTINATIONS AT RISK”
July 17, 2008
Butterfield & Robinson presents the start of a new trip series
Toronto, Canada – Butterfield & Robinson’s newest program is proof positive that the active
travel experts are in a state of constant innovation. Destinations at Risk trips veer away from
the company’s traditional model to focus on educational travel experiences that highlight
species, cultures or habitats at risk. The trips are designed to be balanced learning
adventures, offering insider views of the changing world in order to build awareness. On-trip
experts will be key influencers and authorities in the field, and may include scientists,
environmentalists, native leaders, politicians, naturalists, top educators and business leaders.
The series’ inaugural departure is both close to home and internationally relevant. The
Athabasca Oil Sands 2008 Discovery Trip will be hosted by George Butterfield himself, and
will feature special guest Ed Burtynsky. This renowned photographer, who famously captures
human-altered natural landscapes in magnificent, thought-provoking works, was recently the
subject of the award-winning documentary, Manufactured Landscapes. On-trip, the artist
will present a slideshow of his work on Fort McMurray and the Athabasca region.
George Butterfield has long been involved with numerous philanthropic organizations,
including the World Wildlife Fund (WWF). He comments: “I just think there are a lot of
travellers out there who, like me, are increasingly interested in learning more about the world
around them-about really connecting with it and educating themselves so that they can
actually effect change.”
The exclusive Athabasca Oil Sands Destination at Risk Trip will be limited to 14 guests, and is
slated for August 20-22, 2008. The objective is to shed light on the opportunities and
implications of the ongoing development of the Alberta oil sands, which are said to comprise
the second largest reserves in the world. Controversially, the low-grade bitumen also requires
significant energy to extract and refine, while social and environmental costs of the project
continue to mount.
Guests on the three-day exploratory trip will be exposed to all angles and
opinions, with scheduled presentations from Suncor Energy Inc., water experts, a wildlife
biologist, provincial governments, a local WWF project manager, and representatives of First
Nations communities. Activities include a 1.5-hour helicopter flight that offers aerial views of
various mines and refineries. The three-day trip begins in Calgary and finishes in Fort
McMurray. Accommodations are at the Fairmont Palliser in Calgary and the Radisson Hotel
in Fort McMurray.
“These trips are really about fostering a dialogue,” says researcher Tom Abraham. The longtime
B&R guide and B.C. native feels passionately about the project, and will lead the
inaugural departure. Additional Destination at Risk trips are in the works, with future
possible destinations including the Amazon and Rwanda.

The Details
3 days/2 nights
Start/Finish: Toronto/ Toronto
Dates: August 20-22, 2008
Price: from US$3200 per person ($300 single supplement)
Butterfield & Robinson offers more than 90 innovative itineraries in 60 destinations
worldwide. Their motto since 1966 remains “Slow down to see the world.” Imaginative trip
design, exquisite service and a tireless pursuit of the world’s most fascinating places
continue to make B&R a leader in active travel for all ages.
2008 Travelers’ Philanthropy Conference Program Announced
July 17, 2008
Washington, DC – July 17, 2008: The 2008 Travelers’ Philanthropy Conference, taking place in Arusha, Tanzania December 3-5, 2008 will feature an exclusive half-day Short Course on how to establish and manage a travelers’ philanthropy program and the premier of a new documentary film.
The newly released conference program includes 27 workshops on a wide range of current topics as well as plenary sessions. The workshops feature three main streams including: Travelers’ Philanthropy: Contribution to Conservation; Travelers’ Philanthropy: Investing in Communities and Development; and Travelers’ Philanthropy: Trends and Cross Cutting Issues. Eight optional, pre- and post- conference safaris that combine game viewing and other tourism act ivities with visits to community projects supported by tour operators will also be available at a discount for participants, friends, and family.
“This conference marks the most comprehensive examination to-date of travelers’ philanthropy – the growing global initiative by which tourism businesses and travelers are helping to support local schools, clinics, micro-enterprises, job training, conservation, and other types of projects in tourism destinations around the world,” says Dr. Martha Honey, Co-Director of the Center on Ecotourism and Sustainable Development (CESD) which is organizing the conference. “We have chosen to hold the conference in East Africa both because there are many fine examples of responsible tourism businesses that are practicing travelers’ philanthropy and because there are many pressing local and regional social and environmental needs which tourism, done well, can help to address.”
The keynote address will be given by Nobel Laureate Professor Wangari Maathai, founder and leader of Kenya’s Green Belt Movement. Other plenary sessions include a panel discussion on “HIV/AIDS: Responses from the Travel Industry”, “Creating a Strong Corporate Commitment & Model: Vision for the Future”, and an address on “Benefiting Host Communities: Lessons from East Africa,” by Dr. David Western, former head of Kenya Wildlife Service and founder of the African Conservation Centre.
The specially designed Short Course on the ‘nuts and bolts’ of travelers’ philanthropy, will be held on Wednesday afternoon, December 3, just before the official opening of the conference.
“We have created this course because many people are unfamiliar with the concept of travelers’ philanthropy, its different models, and its growth as a new form of development assistance,” explains Fred Nelson, CESD’s conference coordinator in East Africa. In the course, we will give step-by-step instruction on how to create a travelers’ philanthropy program,” adds Nelson.
The instructors include representatives from leading international and African tour companies and other experts in the field of travelers’ philanthropy including the following (a few of which are still being confirmed): Les Carlisle (CC Africa), Dennis Pint o (Micato Safaris), Jane Crouch (Intrepid), Priscilla Macy (Global Sojourns), Len Cordiner (World Hotel Link), Lars Lindqvist (Basecamp Masai Mara), Judy Kepher-Gona (Ecotourism Kenya), Martha Honey (CESD), Bill Durham (CESD), and Laura Driscoll (CESD).
In addition, the conference will showcase a 25 minute documentary on travelers’ philanthropy which has been specially commissioned for this event. Two talented young documentary makers from Stanford University , Peter Jordan and Charlene Music, are currently spending several months shooting footage in Costa Rica and East Africa and editing this educational video.
The three-day conference, the first since the 2004 Travelers’ Philanthropy Conference held at Stanford University, is supported by a growing list of co-sponsors including tourism businesses, conservation NGOs, and UN and other development agencies. Details on registration, scholarships, and how to apply to be a workshop speaker are provided on the conference website: www.travelersphilanthropyconference.org. Those wishing to speak must submit short abstracts by July 31, 2008. Early Bird registration ($395) closes August 31, 2008.

State of the Economy Discussion at ATTA Regional Meetings Reveals Moderate Concern
July 7, 2008
(Seattle) – July 2008 – In Berkeley, California, Seattle, Vancouver, Wash., Boston and New York City between May 30th and June 26th, ATTA hosted nearly 150 adventure travel industry professionals at its Regional Networking Events. With two Adventure Travel World Summits away from U.S. soil in 2008, ATTA stepped up its commiment to major markets throughout the U.S. On July 8th, the ATTA will host yet another regional networking event, this one in the Boulder/Denver market, and another in August during the Outdoor Retailer Trade Show in Salt Lake City.
While the ATTA takes the opportunity to update adventure travel industry executives (comprising tourism boards, tour operators, agents, transportation sector, accommodations, media and others), the primary objectives of the meeting include creating a lively community of those who are active in influencing the industry and to discuss pressing industry issues. At each of the ATTA’s second quarter meetings (earlier this year, the ATTA hosted meetings in San Francisco, New York and Seattle), the primary industry-issue discussion centered on the state of the economy and its impact, perceived and real, on the adventure travel sector.
Below are excerpts of the telling discussion from the June 26th New York City ATTA Regional Meeting, hosted by ATTA Major Sponsor Men’s Journal in the Wenner Media Board Room. In most regional meetings, many industry executives (primarily tour operators) note banner sales and revenue for 2008, with some cautionary notes for 2009 – mainly, that growth is expected, but most commonly, only single digit percentage growth forecasts. Others point out increasing airfares, surcharges and air carrier route changes and cancellations are causing concern. Hear more in the video…
