I think I could clear up on my opinion. The insanity would lie in the "right" part of having a international holiday, should it be outside a rethorical statement, since you're always allowed to use those rights (outside some rare exceptions). Having rights to paid holidays are another matter, which rightfully is legislated.

Louis, the hotels are already compensating with lower prices the way you decribe. As for the last statement, remember that handouts here usually comes with ownership and also I'm not particulary fond of what's ends up as state support of tourism. It's simply not free market, so it should then more of less be followed with a general shift from free market economics. Because if the state needs to pay the market to support it and keeping people employed, it's blatantly obvious that the market is failing.
