SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwired - May 30, 2017) - Tripping.com, the world's largest search engine for vacation homes and short-term rentals, today announced the "Summer of Tripping" getaway series. Each week from Memorial Day to Labor Day, Tripping.com will give away a free stay at a vacation rental. With 10 million properties to choose from, lucky vacationers will have access to beautiful homes in the mountains, near scenic lakes, on ocean beaches, and everywhere in between.

Studies show that over the past decade and a half, there has been a steady decline in the amount of vacation time used by Americans. Studies showed that in 2016, 54% of workers didn't use all of their vacation days, and a shocking 34% used none of their time off. This is problematic for both individuals and the economy, as vacations have proven to lead to less stress, better health and happiness, and increased productivity and creativity in the workplace.

This summer, Tripping.com is actively encouraging Americans to take a vacation. The "Summer of Tripping" is an online giveaway in which Tripping will give away a vacation rental credit of $1,500 to one lucky winner each week from May 29 - September 3. With over 10 million properties worldwide, winners can choose to load up the car for a weekend getaway, revisit their childhood vacation spot, or fly to an exotic destination. Wherever the winners choose to travel, Tripping.com will provide a place to stay so they can enjoy their time off.

"The best vacations are sometimes the most simple -- driving up to the lake or heading into the mountains. A vacation doesn't have to be exotic or international to be fun and relaxing. It's all about enjoying the moment, escaping the everyday, and spending time with the people you care most about," said Jen O'Neal, CEO and founder of Tripping.com. "I encourage everyone to get away this summer, and I hope that the 'Summer of Tripping' campaign encourages more people to take a vacation."
