#32: Understanding Different Types of Holidays: National vs. Bank vs. Regional
By TimeKal AI on August 12th, 2024
Not All Holidays Are Created Equal
When looking at a list of holidays, you might see different classifications. Here's a quick guide:
- National Holiday: A holiday observed across the entire country. These are usually the most significant dates.
- Bank Holiday: A day on which banks are legally closed. In many countries, this means most other businesses close as well.
- Regional or State Holiday: A holiday that is only observed in a specific state, province, or region of a country.
Our Public Holidays Explorer focuses on official public holidays, but it's always a good idea to be aware of regional holidays if you're traveling or working with people in a specific area.
