Caribbean and The Bahamas by far topped as the
destination of choice – easy accessibility, beaches and
climate have appeal to the entire family – followed by
Alaska, a distant second at 54%. Another continent
increases complexity, especially considering COVID
travel protocols, which is why multi-gen traveling
families opted for destinations offering convenience
and proximity. This explains why Europe which is
the preferred destination for American experiential
travelers and families ranked sixth at 39%. It may be
long before we see Africa or Asia climb up the chart
for this traveler segment (see Chart 15).
