Happiness Lies in Planning a Vacation

A new study has said that people anticipating taking a break to go on a vacation are happier than those who have no travelling plans.

Jeroen Nawijn from Erasmus University in Rotterdam and NHTV Breda University of Applied Sciences and his team insist that vacations are linked to a number of positive feelings.

Travel Plans - Star Health Travel Plans
Star Health & Allied Insurance offers a convenient insurance for the corporate people when they travel abroad for globalization and business expansion.

The researchers have learnt how vacations impact happiness among 1,530 Dutch adults, 974 of whom took a vacation.

The experts observed differences in happiness levels and noted that those planning a vacation were happier than those not going away.

However, following the trip there was no difference between vacationers' and non-vacationers' happiness.

Health Insurance
Health insurance has emerged as one of the fastest growing segments in the non-life insurance industry with 30% growth in 2010-11 with annual premium collections being over Rs 6,000 crores.

In some cases increased happiness was noticeable in the first two weeks back.

Nawijn explained that the effect wears off completely after eight weeks, as people have to return to work or other daily tasks.
