If you thought family travel was driven mostly by stressed-out parents and a few TikTok-inspired teens, think again. The kids are officially running the show.
That’s one of the big takeaways (in so many words) from the 2025 U.S. Family Travel Survey, released by the Family Travel Association, the NYU SPS Jonathan M. Tisch Center of Hospitality and Good Housekeeping. Now in its 10th anniversary edition, the report remains one of the most closely watched barometers of how families plan, book and experience travel—and this year’s results give advisors a clear look at what’s coming next.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Luxury Travel Advisor.
