As the recent study by the Destatis statistical agency showed, about one quarter of German families can not afford the current year to go on vacation. "There are a lot of married couples among Germans who consider it inadmissible to spend at least one week of joint rest outside the home," the agency concluded.

It is curious that the number of parents raising children alone is much more limited in financial means: almost half of them (47%) do not have the opportunity to go with their child on a week trip. Full-fledged married couples are in a much better position: 79% of them have sufficient financial strength to organize family vacations

Recall that, despite the good macroeconomic indicators in Germany, the average level of well-being of local residents is lower than in most neighboring countries
