A recent survey of Ensemble Travel Group members in the U.S. and Canada reported that consumers are looking for togetherness but at a reduced price for their family vacations this summer. In addition, the survey, titled “Ensemble Insights: 2013 Summer Family Travel,” showed significant growth in multigenerational travel.
When asked about travel spend per booking, 41 percent of Ensemble respondents said their family travel bookings ranged from $5,000 to $9,999, with another 27 percent falling in the $10,000 to $19,999 range, and another 16 percent from $20,000 to $29,999. Eleven percent reported the average family travel booking at more than $40,000. Another 5 percent answered either under $5,000 or between $30,000 to $39,999.
