A recent poll of agents in the American Express Travel network noted an
increasing move away from family travel in the traditional sense of mom, dad
and the kids. The poll, which queried American Express agents about significant
travel trends in 2006, made note of a rise in families traveling with aunts,
uncles, cousins and grandparents and adult children traveling with their parents.
The poll also noted increased emphasis on grandparents traveling with
grandchildren.
