New Travel Company Plans to Bring Balance Between Work, Home, and Leisure Time

“The statistics about American leisure time aren’t encouraging. Workers in the United States have some of the lowest vacation benefits of any industrialized nation. Whereas time off for vacations is guaranteed in countries such as France and Finland, U.S. employers aren’t even required to offer paid vacations time. More studies show the increasing number of workers who have paid vacation time and don’t use it. On average, employed adults in the United States leave three to six unused vacation days on the table a year. Researchers and psychologists believe this is the symptom of a deeper issue: An increasing struggle to achieve a balanced between work and home, between fostering one's career and nurturing the self. A large percentage of people are nurturing a family as well, for these people this balance becomes an even greater struggle. Over the years the importance of vacation and leisure time has become more apparent. A compelling study carried out by the families and work institute, Titled “Over worked in America: When the way we work become too much” explains how being overworked with lack of vacation and leisure can breed stress and imbalance. “For a significant number of Americans, the way we work today appears to be negatively affecting our health and effectiveness at work and home”.

What will it take to change this? Gateway Getaways President and Co-CEO, Demour Welch, Jr, believe they have found a way. He says, “We are trying to change lives for the better at Gateway Getaways. We are offering an opportunity for people and families to be apart of a travel club that allows them to save money and change their lifestyle, not only on vacations and traveling, but in everyday life as well”. He believes they may have an answer to this lifestyle imbalance. Mr. Welch say’s “More time spent at home with the family, more time spent with your significant other and more time spent with yourself, those are the objectives. We all want to work hard, but in today’s ever changing world and fluctuating economy, working smart will allow you as much leisure vacation time as you desire.”

A study published in the medical journal “Psychosomatic Medicine” has shown that taking regular vacations is associated with a longer, healthier life. “Vacations, exercise and other leisure activities, appear to be restorative and protective against the ill effects of psychological stress.” Mr. Welch adds, “After learning about the effects on family and work due to lack of leisure activities, and also experiencing the effects personally, my partner and I made it our sole mission to help people find their balanced life”.

GateWay GetAways was founded for the sole purpose of introducing a new way to balance work, home, and leisure time. They are committed to making a change in people lives in the U.S. and beyond.

GateWay GetAways plans to change a million lives by the year 2015.
