Kalahari Resorts is Reinstating Family Time, Starting with Summer Vacation
Wisconsin Dells, WI and Sandusky, OH (PRWEB) June 19, 2014 -- Due to the demands of modern life and overbooked schedules, families are, on average, spending less than eight hours per week with one another. Kalahari Resorts and Conventions sees family time as being “endangered,” and is on a mission to save quality family time, starting with summer vacation.
“We understand that families are overwhelmed with busy schedules, which is why we are putting an emphasis on families to spend as much quality time together as possible,” says Travis Nelson, Kalahari Resorts spokesperson. “We are passionate about reinstating family time, and we’re on a mission to remove it from the “endangered list,” continues Nelson.
While family vacations no longer hold the notion of packing-up an RV and traveling cross-country, that doesn’t mean that they have to dissipate all together. Long weekend getaways have become more popular in recent years, and a great way for families to reconnect without interrupting busy schedules. Kalahari Resorts and Conventions, located in Sandusky, OH and the Wisconsin Dells, WI, and coming soon to the Pocono Mountains, has been helping families create life-long memories for more than a decade by providing both indoor and outdoor fun for all ages. Recently named “The World’s Coolest Indoor Water Parks” by Condé Nast Traveler for delivering beyond-expectations service in its all-under-one-roof resorts, Kalahari Resorts continues to bring families together and is on a mission to remove family time from the “endangered” list this summer.
To help encourage more family time this summer, beginning June 18, Kalahari Resorts and Conventions is also offering a “Fuel for Fun” special for a discounted room and a $40 gas card when you book your reservation at http://www.KalahariResorts.com.
