The relative upheaval of the last two years has made international travel a tricky thing for many families, resulting in a good long while since many have had a good old-fashioned family holiday. However, with the tourism sector once again blossoming, there’s no time like the present to plan out your next big holiday! But where to go? And how to prepare?
Top Spots for a Holiday
Picking the best destination for your family trip can be difficult, with there being so many winning locations around the world. If you’re hankering after a beach-bound week away, tourist resorts like Rosewood Mayakoba in Mexico, or Tenerife in Spain are perfect for all the family – while the island of Sardinia is a surprisingly low-cost Mediterranean destination a little off the beaten path. For a city break, Spain remains an amazing choice with Madrid and Barcelona alike chock-full of culture and tourist attractions. If your budget’s a little larger, a trip further afield can reward you well; Thailand is a destination ever-growing in popularity, while Australia is a vast land with something for everyone.
Aiming for Stress-Free Travel
Booking a holiday is all well and good, but you should also make arrangements to ensure the holiday is as stress-free as possible – otherwise, all the rejuvenating effects of your time off could be swiftly undone. Arranging travel from your destination airport is one massive way to make your trip easier; as an example, If you’re on a trip to Tenerife you’d want to make sure you’ve booked an airport transfer from Reina Sofia airport, to save both time and effort getting your family and luggage to your chosen accommodation. Having a pre-planned itinerary can remove the pressure of deciding what to do each day, leaving you and your family free to enjoy everything as it comes.
Packing Tips
With a long period of time since many of us last went abroad, it’s understandable that you may be a little out-of-practice when it comes to packing for you and your family. Knowing the baggage restrictions for your flight, and whether you have that post-flight travel arranged, can have a big influence on your packing plans. If your family is large, you may want to pack light so you’re less burdened by the volume of luggage, while longer stays and longer-distance trips might necessitate packing well. Breaking your luggage up into sections with dry bags or packing cubes can help with organization and space-saving, and also remove stress from unpacking – allowing you to unwind as soon as your suitcase touches the hotel bed.
