	Bank Holiday - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A Bank Holiday is a public holiday in the United Kingdom and also in the Republic of Ireland.
		Bank holidays are so called because they are days upon which banks are (or were) shut and therefore (traditionally) no other businesses could operate.
		The holiday mandated by the Emergency Banking Act of 1933 is perhaps the most notable of these.

	Tourism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tourism is the act of travel for the purpose of recreation, and the provision of services for this act.
		However, the Bank Holiday Act 1871 introduced a statutory right for workers to take holidays, even if they were not paid at the time.
		The combination of short holiday periods, travel facilities and distances meant that the first holiday resorts to develop in Britain were towns on the seaside, situated as close as possible to the growing industrial conurbations.

	Bank Holiday - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		In the United States the "Bank Holiday of 1933" refers to presidential proclamations No. 2039, issued March 6 1933 and No 2040, issued March 9 1933, that temporarily suspended banking transactions by member banks of the Federal Reserve System.
		Normal banking functions were resumed on March 13, subject to certain restrictions.
		Recent practice by Conservative governments has been for the May Bank Holiday to be on 8 May in years where it would otherwise fall on 1 May, presumably out of a desire to avoid the socialist connotations of International Workers' Day.

	LYNDA TURNBULL v. T.S.B. BANK SCOTLAND plc, 16 October 1998, Lord Cullen
		He submitted that the use of the expression "bank holidays" entailed that on those days banks were required to be closed, and accordingly bank employees such as the pursuer could not be required by their employers to work.
		In the light of this construction of "bank holidays", subsection (4) of section 1 could be seen, not as constraining the scope of what was implied by that expression, but as dealing with certain consequences of the fact that banks were required to be closed on those days.
		This layout of the Act tended to support the view that section 1 should not be read narrowly as dealing only with those obligations which otherwise would require to be performed on bank holidays, but as requiring banks to be closed and hence that their employees should not be required to work on such days.

		In the 1820s paddle-steamers and trains meant that it was even easier to travel to the Isle of Wight, and the Bank Holiday Act of 1871 helped many working-class families to enjoy day trips.
		The pier was an essential part of the Victorian holiday, yet since World War II piers have enjoyed less popularity as more and more visitors, instead of enjoying a British bucket-and-spade holiday, have gone for package holidays abroad.
