Travel Specials for Families of All Kinds!

Family Travel

with 2014 Sales & Promotions


When it comes to Family Travel it’s the little things our travel professionals can do that will have a big time impact on your overall experience. No two families are the same, so it’s how East-West Global Travel can tailor our offerings to each family’s unique needs that will set our travel experience as a truly unique experience, worthy of your investment.

Saying goodbye to the traditional family
At East-West Global Travel, we recognize that only 20% of families in America are traditional married family households; and non-traditional families are often overlooked, or marginalized by travel professionals. The majority of these families don’t think family advertising represents families like theirs. They feel ignored, being blasted with images of the traditional mom, dad and two kids household. Single parents, same-sex parents and blended families may not fit the traditional model, but have the same interests in traveling as the more traditional family model. Not all families are the same - and we recognize this diversity. As your travel professional, we are sensitive to these differences and have something for every family type.

PANKs (Professional Aunts, No Kids) are a good example. This unique family travel model spends time each year traveling with their nieces and nephews to exciting destinations. While your nontraditional family travel group may require special considerations during the planning process, we are prepared to exceed your expectations.

Multigenerational Travel is one of the fastest-growing overall trends we have identified in travel. More grandparents are joining their adult children’s family vacations and planning trips of their own to spend more quality time with the grandkids. The extended family model is one way we can serve you; from reunions to anniversaries, we are committed to providing travel opportunities so you can create lifetime memories.

Below are some outstanding sales available for you and your family (however you define it) So we can provide more specific information, please contact us by email from our travel website East-West Global Travel or on our tour website East-West Global Tour.
