holidaymaking
Taking time off
Holidaymaking is the activity of taking holidays or vacations—traveling for leisure, sightseeing, relaxing at resorts.
The term is primarily British: The Mediterranean coast has been transformed by mass holidaymaking.
A holidaymaker is someone engaged in this activity, typically a tourist visiting from elsewhere.
