FAQ — HolidayGlobe

Quick answers about public holidays, long weekends, and how HolidayGlobe works.

Are holidays “official”?
HolidayGlobe focuses on the most common national public holidays. Many countries have regional differences or “observed” rules. Always check official sources for critical decisions.
Why are some dates “approximate”?
This microsite ships with a lightweight static dataset (plausible mock) to deliver a complete production structure. It’s ready to be replaced by an exact dataset.
What is a “long‑weekend bridge”?
A day (or more) taken off between a public holiday and a weekend to create a longer break.
How are long‑weekend ideas detected?
Simple heuristic: Monday/Friday holidays → natural 3‑day weekend; Tuesday/Thursday → likely bridge with one day off.
Can I use this for international teams?
Yes—great for planning availability, avoiding key deadlines, and aligning communications.
Can I share a specific page?
Yes. Every country–year has a stable URL you can send directly.
