The Family Travel Association was founded in 2014 with a single focus: to unite the travel industry and create a coalition of it’s leading players to inspire more families to travel.

Why does family travel matter? First of all, of all trips taken last year, 31% included a child. That's represents over 200 billion dollars in revenue--making it by far the largest segment of our industry. And this growth...it’s only accelerating. In fact, family travel is growing 26% faster than the industry as a whole.

In just a few short years, we’ve welcomed hundreds of members into the Family Travel Association--destinations, tour operators, cruise lines, hotels and resorts, industry suppliers.

And that’s not to mention our certified family travel specialists and our media center--a group of vetted industry media professionals ... all who have expertise on the subject of family travel.

What we’re doing now is leveraging resources & membership’s expertise and we’re creating programs to help families discover what's possible when it comes to taking family vacations.
