Both explanations are correct.In US English, holidays are specific days in the year that are set aside for celebrations. For example, Christmas and New Years are holidays. Vacations, on the other hand, are longer periods of time that people usually take off for themselves (usually for traveling).In UK English, you use holidays as well when talking about vacations. "I went on holiday to France" and "Let's go on holiday" would be the same as "I went on vacation to France" and "Let's go on a vacation" in US English.

So, I was raised in both the US and UK. In the UK, "holiday" and "vacation" are synonymous. In the US, "holiday" is used to describe celebrations on the yearly calendar; Christmas, Thanksgiving, Halloween, Fourth of July (Independence Day), Labor Day, etc. These are all Holidays. "Vacation" is a period of rest, fun and relaxation that people normally spend with their family and friends. These are usually not excused and you have to take off work for it, unless your company gives you "vacation days". Vacations also rarely have a holiday or religious event attached to them.

Holiday is to British English what Vacation is to American English.

It’s basically British and American usage. You don’t really hear British saying vacation. They use public holiday or go on a holiday etc. Americans use vacation pretty exclusively for “personal holiday” and holiday season/period for “public holidays”. But if you tell an American you went on a 2 week holiday to Europe they’d understand. Likewise you tell a brutish you were on a 2 week vacation to Africa they’d understand too.

Was ist der unterschied zwischen holiday und vacation

As some have mentioned, the word "holiday" comes from "holy day", and generally means a day set aside for a special celebration of some sort. However, due to these celebrations usually being accompanied by standard periods where employees are given time off from work, and students time off from school, people often engage in recreational travel during these periods. Thus, in the U.K. and Australia, the word "holiday" means both an official celebratory day, and/or a period away from work or school used primarily for recreation. In the U.S.A., the word "holiday" is almost always used to mean an official celebratory day or period, so "vacation" is used to refer to a period of recreational travel instead. In terms of etymology, "vacation" literally means "the leaving of something once occupied", so "going on vacation" effectively means the same as "going away for a while".

@aguiHoliday is given by the government to its citizens.

This is taken by an individual irrespective of govt. holidays, weekdays or weekends.

I'm an American, so it will be different for people of other countries. But in America, we say holidays are public celebrations of no school or work (빨간날), while vacations are personal days you request off (휴가).
