When was the last time you traveled with your loved ones?
Despite the 2020 disruptions caused by the virus pandemic, travel is not going to go away! Instead, one of the travel trends set to emerge on the new travel destination horizon is that of intergenerational travel or the return of the family heritage holiday.
Just like it sounds: intergenerational travel entails large family groups traveling together with multiple generations within one family structure; and those reflecting today’s modern, extended family, which could include anything from you and your direct family; to parents and in-laws, nephews, sisters, aunts, and even second cousins twice removed.
Choosing a common destination travel journey for far flung extended family members who are spread out across the global is the perfect opportunity to reconnect, celebrate a special reunion full of excitement and meaning, or to plan a spontaneous new family adventure in uncharted destinations.
