What is Multigenerational Travel?
Multigenerational travel also referred to as multigen, is a term used to describe multiple generations in a family who are choosing to go on a holiday together. These generations could be grandparents, parents and children, as well as cousins and aunties and uncles, all of which decide to share their trip together.
Multigenerational travel is slowly becoming increasingly popular, with families deciding to spend their precious holiday time together as a family.
Benefits of Multi-Generational Travel
💰 Cost Efficiency
Sharing accommodations, transportation, and group discounts can make travel more affordable for everyone.
🧓👶 Stronger Family Bonds
Spending uninterrupted time together helps generations connect in ways daily life doesn’t allow. Grandparents get quality time with grandchildren, kids learn family stories and traditions, and everyone gains a deeper appreciation for each other.
📸 Lasting Memories & Legacy
Trips become part of family stories, photos, and traditions that get passed down for years. Quality time boosts happiness and reduces feelings of isolation, especially for older family members.
