Americans are getting more active. Recently, families in the US are going beyond traditional getaways in the quest for newer, broader, more engaging and meaningful experiences.
So, what makes us gear up for that vacation? Is it merely the desire to breakout from the grind and spend time off with the family? Or are there deeper meanings inherent? You'll agree that most family travel planners want to introduce children to different cultures, customs and lifestyles. They want to experience this together and create memories that last for a lifetime.
Unlike a typical nuclear family getaway, a modern family vacation is where we go all out on a multi-generational trip to include grandparents. We all love our parents but we rarely get a chance to show how much we care. So, taking them along with the kids is an incomparable experience. How long we've been craving to see that smile on their face! Besides, grandparents are also traveling with kids, without Mom and Dad.
Moreover, adult children are increasingly traveling with their parents. More and more families are traveling together with family friends as one large group. There's a spurt in blended family vacations, too, where divorced/remarried parents with their new spouses and children are traveling together.
Another important factor is that families are being increasingly drawn to active pursuits, meaning, they're heading out for more outdoor and adventure spots.
