<holidayfyi-glossary slug="long-weekend"></holidayfyi-glossary>An extended period of leisure created when a public holiday falls on a Friday or Monday (or is officially moved to do so), giving workers a three-day break from the standard five-day working week. Many governments use 'holiday substitution' rules to shift holidays that fall on weekends to the nearest Monday, and long weekends are among the most economically important periods for tourism, hospitality, and retail, typically generating significant spikes in domestic travel and consumer spending.
