Here’s a list of the official national public holidays in 2020:

These are the 5 long weekends (without vacation leave):

We know that 5 long weekends in a year can be insufficient to those who loves travelling. That is why we found a way to increase the number of long weekends by just taking 10 vacation leaves! Here's how we do it:

1. 2 Days Leave on 30 & 31 December 2019 (Monday & Tuesday) -> 28 December – 1 January (Saturday - Wednesday) = 5 days

2. 1 Day Leave on 24 February (Friday) -> 24 – 27 February (Friday - Monday) = 4 days

3. 1 Day Leave on 8 May (Friday) -> 7 – 10 May (Thursday - Sunday) = 4 days

4. 1 Day Leave on 21 August (Friday) -> 20 – 23 August (Thursday - Sunday) = 4 days

5. 2 Days Leave on 10 - 11 September (Thursday & Friday) -> 9 – 13 September (Wednesday - Sunday) = 5 days

6. 2 Days Leave on 14 - 15 September (Monday & Tuesday) -> 12 – 16 September (Saturday - Wednesday) = 5 days

7. 1 Day Leave on 30 October (Friday) -> 29 October – 1 November (Thursday - Sunday) = 4 days
