Regions in TeamCal Pro are used to provide different base calendars. You can set up different holidays in each region. The Manage Regions page will list all currently configured regions in TeamCal Pro. You can directly change the region name and the description. You can only add, update or delete one region at a time. The 'default' region is listed on this page for editing only. It cannot be deleted or changed. At the bottom of the dialog you can also merge two regions.

There are two ways to add a region. You can add an empty region by just specifying a name and a description. Or you can add a region by importing an iCal file. Since TeamCal Pro is a day-based calendar, make sure that your iCal file only contains whole day events.
The iCal import is very popular for importing school holidays. Here is a great site to get ready-to-go iCal files for school holidays: http://www.calendarlabs.com/ical-calendar-holidays.php.
