Travel Trend: Nearly 21 Million Travelers Have Taken a Multigenerational Vacation in the Past 12 Months
Wisconsin Dells, Wis. and Sandusky, Ohio (PRWEB) September 03, 2014 -- Four-in-10 Baby Boomers are now grandparents and spending time with grandkids is a top priority for many*. In fact, multigenerational travel – defined as a trip including three or more generations – is one of the biggest trends in the travel industry.
Continuing Kalahari Resorts and Conventions’ mission to take “family time” off the endangered list, the company is encouraging families to take a multigenerational staycation this fall. This year, Grandparents Day is September 7, a great reason to have some wet and wild fun while making memories to last a lifetime.
“For many families, Sunday dinner with extended family has become replaced by an annual reunion or holiday celebration,” said Travis Nelson, Kalahari Resorts spokesperson. “At Kalahari, we have something for everyone, ages eight or 88, from candy making to spa services, go karts and waterslides.”
Kalahari Resorts and Conventions is more than just The World’s Coolest Indoor Waterparks (Condé Nast Traveler, 2014). The authentically-African themed resorts’ beyond expectations approach to hospitality and all-under-one-roof amenities is what sets Kalahari apart from the rest.
Kalahari Resorts locations in Sandusky, Ohio, Wisconsin Dells and coming soon to Pocono Mountains, Penn. offer something for everyone – America’s largest indoor waterparks, seasonal outdoor waterparks, Spa Kalahari, award-winning indoor attractions, convention center and on-site dining, just to name a few.
This fall, the whole family can enjoy a fun adventure in true Kalahari-style with the Fantastic Family Getaway package available at both Wisconsin Dells and Sandusky, Ohio locations. Valid every day of the week, rates include admission to both the indoor and outdoor waterparks, two breakfasts and one dinner for a family of four, a $50 credit toward dining at any resort restaurant and a variety of additional discounts to Kalahari's award winning indoor attractions.
Each property is home to traditional “Desert” or “Hut” style guest rooms that are larger than the industry standard and perfect for a family of four, but we also have styles that cater to families of any size, including:
