Post-Vacation Glow & More Reasons Why Your Next Date Should Be A Baecation

Time is fleeting, thus we can never get back. That’s why it’s important to use time wisely. Not just in terms of procrastination, but using it for meaningful conversations, cultivating relationships, and celebrating moments, big or small.

Hyatt’s Inclusive Collection partnered with Wakefield Research to release their Time Rich Report, which is a study that showed that 82% of Americans feel as though they aren’t getting enough time with their loved ones. When it comes to couples, 31% say they don’t get enough time together.

However, the research also revealed that the best way to get quality time is through traveling. “Our first-ever Time Rich Report shows that travel is about much more than getting away – it’s about arriving at powerful moments and shared experiences,” said Ana Tomicevic, vice president, global brand leader, Hyatt’s Inclusive Collection.

According to the report, 84% of couples said baecations had a positive affect on them, even after they returned home.

This is referred to as Post-Vacation Glow. The report stated 47% of couples spent more time together after their trip, 47% planned their next getaway, and 1 in 3 couples say their sex life got a boost.

Vacations allow for quality time, which is often interrupted by work, kids, and other daily commitments. It’s an opportunity to reconnect and have the intimacy that may have been missing.

Couples can engage in activities like yoga, long walks on the beach, and the spa or go on excursions that can bring the fun back into the relationship.

Being present with your partner is key, that’s why Hyatt’s Inclusive Collection partnered with Deepak Chopra, M.D., for its “Time Here Is Worth More” campaign. “Time is more than just a measure; it reflects what we value,” said Chopra, M.D.

Through their collaboration, Hyatt and Chopra want to equip travelers with the tools to help them be more intentional and carry what they learn with them even after the vacation is over. So before you plan your next date, try planning an intentional getaway.
