Site Teams Up With Family Travel
Expert to Find Out Where Families Would Go If Money Was No Object
Travelocity's most recent survey of
customers found having kids doesn't have to mean the end of travel. In fact, it
turns out families who travel with children are more likely to have dream vacations planned than those
respondents who do not.
88 percent of respondents to the survey have a dream
trip they would take if money was no object. Of those, the majority (60 percent)
stated that having an authentic, local experience was what mattered most on
their dream trip. The other 40 percent said it was more important to experience
the best service possible.
"It's telling that families who travel with children
are more likely to have dream trips in mind than those who don't travel with
kids," said Eileen Ogintz, family travel expert and author of the weekly
syndicated column Taking the Kids.
"They want to show children the world and know travel is the most wonderful gift
you can give a young person. What families may not realize is their travel
dreams are far more attainable than they may think."
In terms of the type of trip parents would like to
take with their children, a tour of a foreign city came in on top with 37
percent of the vote. The second-most popular choice was relax on a beach (22
percent), followed by take a cruise (18 percent), visit a theme park (12
percent) and see exotic wildlife (11 percent).
"Given the fact that parents named having a local
experience and touring a foreign city as key factors of their family dream trip,
it's no surprise that Europe was the number-one destination they would pick,"
said Genevieve Shaw Brown, Editorial Director at Travelocity. "Fall is a perfect
time to explore Europe, with lovely weather and fewer crowds. Top that off with
cheap flights and hotel deals that don't exist in the
summer months and suddenly a dream vacation is within reach."
