The surge in remote employment opportunities over the last three years has meant greater daytime flexibility for the average American—but it also means we’re not always working nine to five. Earlier mornings and later nights online are part of the reason Americans left a whopping 768 million vacation days unused, with just about a third of those permanently forfeited. With so many working from home, remembering to unplug and unwind is one of the best ways to avoid professional burnout. And there’s few better places to start your vacation than Arizona, which promises about 50% more sunshine than the rest of the continental U.S.
Nearly 80% of leisure travelers are planning a trip in the next six months. What better time than now to explore the vast natural beauty—and some incredible accommodations—of Arizona for yourself? Just don’t forget your sunscreen.
