One big problem is the disparity between people with kids and those without—those with kids tend to take all their vacation days when school’s out.
Those without kids spread theirs around the year so they get cheaper prices.
In practice this means things are very quiet during the summer/winter vacations and then there’s a smearing of one or two people out each week for the rest of the year.
The company incentives would have to be more than the difference in prices for planes and hotels between on and off peak seasons—often thousands of dollars.
