 The Office for Travel, Hiking and Vacations
arranges trips and excursions for workers, at between one-fourth and one-fifth of the normal price. 
The classes of journeys offered and the way in which
Strength through Joy deals with the railways, hotel
keepers, and private enterprises is discussed in detail
in the report. All German workers have the
right by law to annual paid vacations and it is estimated 
that in 1937 Strength through Joy trips attracted 
over lO,000,000 participants, the shorter
trips being particularly well patronized. Strength
through Joy owns five ocean-going ships (including
two luxurious vessels built to its specifications),
charters six more, and possesses as well a vast
bulk of other facilities in its own busses, vacation 
villas and a giant sea bath for 20,000 workers
