We are excited to share that the KJ Travel team was featured in a recent issue of The New York Times titled “As Restrictions Loosen, Families Travel Far and Spend Big” by Debra Kamin. Quoted as a family travel expert, Kate discusses the growing amount of multigenerational family travel she has planned as COVID-19 restrictions are being lifted and more individuals are receiving vaccines.
KJ Travel Founder and Travel Advisor Kate Johnson comments on family travel in the New York Times citing the rise in multigenerational reunion travel.
With a sixfold increase in bookings for family reunion travel thus far this year, we can see the urgency people are beginning to feel to be back with family. Because of this, people are seeking out travel agencies to help with their extended family travel plans in order to ensure they are meeting all the requirements to travel and understand the restrictions that come with the destination. In a recent Washington Post article, Bailey Berg discusses “Why 2021 will be the Year of the Travel Agent” and the rise in people using travel agencies for the summer of 2021 because of the security and knowledge they bring to the table.
Some of our recent multigenerational family vacations that we have planned for 2021 include:
Several vacation home rentals* in Los Cabos, Punta Mita and across Mexico
A Beach front villa in Grand Caymans with a private pool
Private catamaran sailing trip in the Exumas Islands, Bahamas
Disney World family vacations, including VIP guides
Colorado and Montana rental homes* for summer vacations and snowskiing trips
A combination of hotel stays and rental homes during multi-island Hawaii vacations
Destination spa vacations
South African safaris
