Multigenerational travel is one of the hottest trends in travel, according to research reported by Preferred Hotel Group (PHG).
The study found that scores of multigenerational travelers were embarking on ‘milestone vacations’. Important travel -inducing life events include birthdays (50 per cent), anniversaries (40 per cent), family reunions (39 per cent), and weddings (37 per cent).
According to the report, multigenerational leisure travel has increased for several reasons:
- * Families are living geographically farther from each other than at any time in history. A multigenerational trip is often the best option for today’s modern and mobile family to gather in one place.
- * The hyper-fast pace of life in the 21st century means evenings and weekends are no longer untouchable family time, creating a greater need for the escape that only travel can provide.
- * The enormous baby boomer population is trading briefcases for roller bags, and they want to take their kids and grandkids with them. Boomers now have the time, health, and disposable income to make travel with their families a top priority.
