I mean, I guess that depends on what you're defining as a "vacation". If you're talking about some big grand trip where you spend a ton of money and show off to everyone when you get back, sure.
But that's not my experience with vacations, nor most people I know. A vacation is a break. It's a chance to change your daily routine, change your scenery, and just disconnect from the normal stresses of daily life for a bit. It doesn't need to be somewhere expensive or even far away. Hell, a weekend camping trip can cost virtually nothing and is a great vacation.
And for kids, vacations can be a great bonding and learning experience with parents and siblings. It takes them out of their comfort zone and forces them to experience and try things they might not have otherwise, simply because their environment has changed. Again, it doesn't need to be something grand or expensive. Just something different.
Vacations aren't just "consumer" behavior. They're pretty important in a lot of ways.
