Multi-gen holidays are all the rage

It’s the holiday where all the family – parents, children and grandparents – spend time together at a hotel or resort, often to celebrate a milestone event. The get-together can be in Australia or overseas, often in Bali, Thailand and Israel.

All-inclusive resorts with kids clubs are popular with young children while some families with older kids prefer a cruise ship that offers a range of facilities including water slides and poolside movies.

Mark Chaskiel, CEO and joint managing director of FBI Travel of Caulfield North, has been advising clients on multi-generational travel for many years and attributes its current growth in popularity to baby boomers.

“The current baby boomers went on holidays with their children and want to do the same with their kids and grandkids,” he said.

“Many are now in a position where they can afford it and the travel industry is catering for multi-generational travel.”
