Summer Vacation Hot Spots

Whether you’re choosing a family vacation with children, an adult adventure off the beaten path, or a romantic honeymoon, there are many things to consider. But pleasing everybody involved is the major consideration.

Families with Children Hot Spots

Choosing a family vacation for families with small children may be a little bit easier to accomplish than families with teenagers or families with both small children and teenagers. Many older teens often drop out of the family vacation, officially stating work reasons, although it’s more likely the family vacation sounds too boring for a teen. Besides, who wants to hang out with their parents and siblings— especially younger siblings?

According to the American Society of Travel Agents (ASTA), 2008 Hot Spots for summer survey, cruises are the most popular way for families with teens of all ages to spend time together with something to please everyone. Other favorite destinations included Disney World, Hawaii and Cancun. No doubt these top destinations would do more to entice the teen than another camping or road trip.

The following destinations are listed in order of popularity with teens:

1. Cruise (multi-destinations)
2. Orlando (includes Disney World)
3. Hawaii
4. Cancun
5. Mexico
6. Caribbean
7. Florida
8. Punta Cana
9. Costa Rica
10. Alaska

Warm weather, beaches, and other outdoor activities, with the ability to have time both with other teens and family were the most important considerations to teens.
