The rise of family blogs and booking engines make it easier than ever to book your next family vacation, but also leads to a debilitating case of analysis paralysis. Where should you go? Where should you stay? Who do you ask for advice? Instead of piecing together online reviews on your own, go straight to a community of encouraging family travelers on a platform you use the most. Facebook groups are a goldmine for families trying to navigate the online world that is all things travel.
Family Travel Inspiration was designed for families from all corners of the globe who love to travel and want to share that experience of wanderlust with their children. The group shies away from advertising or spam and focuses on specific tips and advice for family travelers in an open and communal atmosphere. Dozens of posts are shared each day with more than 100 new members joining daily.
Luxury family travelers take note, Luxe Family Trips gives parents a place to discuss and ask for advice on their favorite luxury hotels and destinations. Robin Hutson of Luxe Recess, Kirsten Maxwell of Kids Are A Trip and Sarah Pittard of Solo Mom Takes Flight moderate this group to share their expert tips and share their knowledge on the luxury travel circuit.
