American Express Travel has released its annual global travel trends report for 2025, and one trend, "fam travel," has people spending quality time with their loved ones. 

Audrey Hendley, president of American Express Travel, said, "Travelers, especially millennials and Gen Z, are motivated to book thoughtful, meaningful trips this year."

"Fam travel" is a multi-generational trend with grandparents, parents and children all packing their bags," Hendley said in a press release.
