Multigenerational Travel on the Rise: Our Top 8 Destinations

Huffington Post writer, Laura Rowley investigated where U.S residents are traveling and who is accompanying them. Nearly twenty one million people took a multigenerational trip in the previous twelve months, according to a new study by Preferred Hotels. Multigenerational travel is increasingly more popular because recent trends show that many Americans live far away from family members.

Multigenerational travelers plan “Milestone Vacations” to celebrate family reunions, weddings, anniversaries, and birthdays. Check out this list of eight fantastic vacations that the whole family will love and call us to check on availability and best prices for you.
