FAMILY TRAVEL TREND IN 2024
Family travel habits are evolving post-Covid as pandemic-driven trends start to wane and new ones begin to emerge. Making up for lost time was a big travel motivator that arose from the pandemic, but it is no longer the top reason to travel for a number of people, including families, according to travel industry surveys. Instead, simply making time to spend with family through more meaningful travel experiences, and in smaller groups, has become more prevalent.

Caribbean & Mexican Caribbean destinations, particularly all-inclusive resorts, provide excellent choices. New and continuing reasons for family travel memories include special events such as:
Graduations
Celebrations
Birthdays
Anniversaries
Time with Loved Ones
Personal Achievements
Family Bonding
Also trending, children’s interests when it comes to planning family trips, more so than in previous years.
