With today’s economy, parents are looking for even more help planning fun, worth-every-dollar vacations!
 
As strange as it might seem, parents everywhere are in agreement with the above headline! I know, you’re probably thinking that parents would rather leave their kids behind and have a relaxing adult vacation than take them along. But the fact is that more than one in four household trips in the U.S. include children under 18, or over 175 million trips in total every year. If your business is having trouble reaching these traveling families consistently and meaningfully in the online community, not to worry. There’s a solution…
 
Would you jump at the opportunity to reach moms and dads monthly who are looking for travel advice and real-world travel experiences? If you were told that all information and recommendations this attentive consumer group is reading comes from the leading family travel expert who is regularly featured on CNN, and in newspapers nationwide including USA Today, would that interest you?
 
TakingtheKids.com is your online resource to reach this highly desired community of travelers—it’s the opportunity to have your company’s message alongside the extraordinary, engaging content on one of the travel industries best kept secrets. Started by award-winning syndicated columnist Eileen Ogintz, Taking the Kids is a great way to gain exposure for your company to the world of family travel consumers.
 
These travelers do research for family friendly destinations worldwide. The vast Taking the Kids website offers many vacation recommendations through engaging content and member feedback. With Taking the Kids, you’ll have multiple opportunities for your company’s services to be seen by parents whose vacation plans include…

 

  • shopping
  • attending a social/family event
  • engaging in an outdoor activity
  • going to the beach
  • going to a theme/amusement park

 

Leisure trips account for 91% of trips made with children, and four in ten overnight trips with children include a stay in a hotel, motel or bed and breakfast establishment.
