Hot travel trend turns vacations into multi-generational family affairs

As travelers begin to plan their trips for the summer, a new report is revealing the latest travel trends, spotlighting the opportunity for a family affair. 

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.

Meanwhile, 24% said they bring along extended family for babysitting.

When it comes to planning itineraries, younger family members take the lead. 

Sixty-eight percent of parents of millennials and Gen Zers say their kids are partaking in the scheduling of activities on the family trip.
