Leaders in the hospitality industry have realized that traveling with children can be a challenge and in response, a number of family-friendly accommodations are now emerging.
Over the past few years, cinematic hits like The LEGO Movie and Disney's Frozen have proven that it's possible to provide fun for the whole family. This mentality is also being applied to family getaways, including the entertaining LEGOLAND Hotel Winter Haven, the American Doll-themed experience at the Hyatt Regency Hotel and the Dr. Seuss-inspired adventure at sea offered by Carnival Cruise.
While parents are concerned about keeping kids stimulated with entertainment and activities, there are also a number of destinations that emphasize education. For instance, the Hyatt Regency Tamaya teaches families about indigenous cultures, while Me to We's family volunteer trip to Ecuador puts an emphasis on helping local communities.
