Profile of US Family Travelers: 90% have Facebook page. The newly-released Ypartnership/Harrison Group2010 Portrait of American Travelers provides a fresh look at the changing travel habits and preferences of family travelers. More specifically, the survey examines the travel behavior of Americans with an annual household income of more than $50,000. “Family travel” is defined as any form of leisure travel that includes children. Fully 44 percent of all leisure travelers took at least one “family vacation” last year. The incidence of family travel is significantly higher than the incidence of households with children (roughly one-third). This difference may be attributed to the growth in multi-generational travel as a result of the aging population. Click here to view a quick profile of American travelers from YPartnership.
