The Worldwide Travel Report also revealed a 10% rise in family bookings for 2020, and an 8% rise in family bookings which include three generations of a family travelling together (e.g. grandparents, parents and children).
Kuoni’s family travel experts report that these multiple generation holidays are often paid for by grandparents to celebrate a big occasion – and Africa safaris are the top choice.
Anecdotally, travel experts at Kuoni report that children are driving the agenda as never before, with young travellers central to selecting the holiday and many paying a close eye on the environment, conservation projects and how animals are cared for in destinations.
