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. Orlando, Florida
was the most popular domestic destination in 2006 and London the most popular international travel
spot so far this year, the poll showed. New York City
came in as the second-most appealing travel destination; Miami,
the third; Las Vegas, the fourth; and Washington, D.C.,
the fifth. Internationally, Rome followed London; Paris ranked third;
Cancun, fourth; and Nassau,
Bahamas, fifth.
