   Supporting the goals and ideas of a ``National Plan Your Vacation 
                                 Day''.

Whereas vacations create long-lasting and invaluable memories for families to 
        share;
Whereas travel opens our minds and hearts to different cultures, places, and 
        people;
Whereas over \1/3\ of employed adults in the United States reported feeling 
        better about their jobs and feeling more productive upon returning from 
        vacation;
Whereas travel contributes significantly to the global economy, generating $1.3 
        trillion in economic activity every year in the United States, 
        significantly contributing to the economy of the State of Nevada where 
        \2/3\ of every dollar spent is due to the tourism industry;
Whereas travel and tourism is among the largest 3 employers in 29 States and the 
        District of Columbia, creating 7.3 million jobs; and
Whereas online travel companies help more than 50 million travelers per year 
        easily plan and book travel accommodations by demonstrating an 
        unwavering commitment to customer service and innovation: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved,  That the House of Representatives--
            (1) supports the goals and ideas of a ``National Plan Your 
        Vacation Day''; and
            (2) requests the President to issue a proclamation calling 
        upon the people of the United States to observe the day with 
        appropriate ceremonies and activities.
