The interest in taking family trips with three or more generations is booming. According to International Medical Group, which provides global insurance benefits and travel assistance services, over 1 in 3 families plan to take a multigenerational trip in 2024.
Multiday trips in the U.S. are most common, according to a Family Travel Association survey in 2023. And as more families look for unique opportunities to create memories, Katie Kubitskey, certified travel planner and owner of travel-planning agency My World Travel, said they are stretching beyond the typical large family beach vacation. She's seeing a rise in what 28% of grandparent travelers are already doing, according to the Family Travel Association -- planning a multigenerational trip that's more ambitious and outside of their home country.
"The families that have realized they work well traveling together just want to get a little more adventurous," Kubitskey told Stacker. "It just becomes a bucket list item that they're like, 'Oh, this is kind of a dream that my kids will get to hang out with their grandparents and make memories in these amazing international places.'"
