With years of closed borders and lock downs, we’ve found ourselves not being able to see our extended family properly for quite some time. Now with restrictions eased, we think it’s the best time to arrange your families big reunion, and there is no better way to reconnect with loved ones than on a family holiday. Multi-generational travel will bond and enrich your family spirit like you’ve never seen before.
A reunion no other
It’s so often the case, and more true recently, that weeks or years can pass without the family as a whole gathering in the same place. Different work and study schedules, travel time between family members, and family living overseas means it can sometimes be difficult to arrange time out in each other’s company. This is where these family trips come in, enabling all of the generations to spend quality time together in one location.
Inspiring curiosity at all ages
With so many multisensory new experiences packed into a family holiday, it’s the ultimate place to inspire the younger members of the family; experiencing new cultures, learning about forgotten histories and introducing them to new languages and foods. But not only is travel good for children, this is in fact true for any age. What’s more, the different qualities that each member of the family brings to the group are accentuated on a journey. The natural curiosity in children shines brighter than ever, and adults benefit from this through gaining a greater appreciation for the extraordinary place they’re in and the experiences they encounter. Budding explorers will appreciate, not just the cultures they visit, but also the quality time they get to spend with their family on holiday.
Memories last a lifetime
Travel can be one of the most rewarding experiences a family can have together. The adventures you will experience together will create wonderful memories that will last well after you arrive home and will form stories that will be remembered fondly for years to come. Sights, scents and sounds leave a lasting impression – all it takes is for a smell of freshly baked pizza to flow through the air, and memories of a balmy summer evening in Florence come to mind. Bellissimo! From the sounds of tropical wildlife on a cruise through the lagoons in Costa Rica, to the incredible visual grandeur of the Grand Canyon in the USA, a family holiday is packed full of experiences that are a feast for all the senses.
Which destinations to choose?
A trip to a small get-away-from-it-all island might entertain everyone for the first day or two, but that’s all. A country like Italy has lots of history, art, culture, fabulous foods and plenty of opportunities for all-round family fun. Or perhaps consider a trip to somewhere like Costa Rica, which is exotically intriguing and has a plethora of extraordinary wildlife to fascinate all ages.
Organising everyone can feel like it’s not worth it
Ever get dread about organising the family holiday? Well, you don’t need to with a guided tour. All of the finer details are sorted for you on family packages including accommodation, transport, experiences and many meals. Even the latest health authority and local government guidelines are vetted out for you. Whether you choose to join fellow families on a family package or to travel exclusively with just family and friends on a private tour, all you need to do is decide where to go and who to bring – we will take care of the rest! Meaning you can focus on enjoying family time.
