Call it a crazy idea if you like but a businessman from New Zealand has launched a crusade for a universal day off which is starting to be taken a lot more seriously than you might expect.

Ed Lester the founder of So Much World Online Travel Guides and Travel Bookmarking has suggested that travel is pretty much the only universal theme that could generate the kind of broad agreement necessary to create the first truly global public holiday.

"In Western society we all think of Christmas as being a universal holiday but of course it isn't. Even in the US many religions don't celebrate Christmas. Thanksgiving is generally only celebrated in North America. Most people cite New Year's Day as a global holiday but again that's incorrect. A great number of countries including China (the world's largest population) have a completely different date for their New Year."
