A multigenerational trip is a vacation in which multiple generations of a family travel together.
With the baby boomer population enjoying longer, more active lives, these trips are becoming increasingly common. In fact, according to a 2011 study by Preferred Hotels, 40 percent of U.S. leisure travelers - or nearly 21 million people - have taken a multigenerational trip within the last year.
With many families spread across the country, most families only gather for the holidays. A multigenerational trip is appealing to families because it isn't the standard trip home. Rather, it provides families the opportunity to unplug, get together between holidays, and create lasting family memories.
Popular Multigenerational Trips
Cruising offers a wide variety of destinations and flexible scheduling, making it a great option for multigenerational travel. This mode of travel also offers a variety of price points to meet budgets of all sizes, as well as onboard activities for every age group.
All-inclusive resorts offer relaxing, beachside vacations, which lend themselves to being a great option for family members of all ages. As an added bonus, meals and activities are included; this takes the stress out of planning, cooking and coordinating.
Disney parks are one of the most popular destinations for multigenerational families. Disney holds a special place in the hearts of many grandparents, who grew up in the prime years of Walt Disney. Today, they are once again able to experience Disney's magic through the eyes of their grandchildren.
