A search in google.com’s organic listing using
popular keywords related to family reunions and family travel returns 1,170,000
pages on the subject of family reunions. Among
the links are large traffic sites jammed packed with information from party
favors at family reunion gatherings to family reunion planning guides.
There's even a family reunion web-ring offering family stories, anecdotes
and do's and don’ts of family reunion planning.
Family Reunion Growth
Trigger
What’s triggering the growth in family reunion activity?
What is the catalyst that causing the basic units of society to come
together? One of the factors
contributing to the upsurge is connected to 9-11-01.
"It seems everyone knows someone who lost a friend or relative on
that day. It makes you want to hold
on tight to your family, your future and acknowledge your ancestry”, said one
family reunion committee member.
While
overseas travel dropped by double digits in 2001, the number of Americans
traveling to family reunions at that time increased to 37 percent. More RVs were
rented, more families traveled. One travel agency saw multigenerational family
travel and reunion-type family travel increase for first-time visitors from 20
percent in 2000 to 34 percent in 2001.
A survey of 400 ASTA
and Vacation.com members found that 67 percent reported booking travel
accommodations for family reunions within the year since Sept 11 2001, while
64.5 percent reported an increase in requests to book family reunion trips over
the past five years. Noticing an
increase in family travel in the aftermath of Sept. 11, Sonesta launched the Our
Family Invites Your Family package.
Family Reunions Becoming
Big Event
Clearly family reunions are becoming the big event far surpassing Holiday
celebrations and July 4th picnics. It
would appear that family reunion planning has evolved into the catalyst bringing
families together throughout the year if only for family reunion committee
meeting conference calls or
to share some new genealogy research issue or
artifact find.
But
it's not just about focusing on the present. It's also about connecting with the
past. Travel agents cited an increased interest among young people in their
family roots and genealogy. The
outcome of a recent poll by Market Strategies, Inc. (MSI), a national, research
and strategic consulting firm and MyFamily.com, Inc. revealed that 73 percent of
Americans are interested in discovering their family history.
Families groups honoring up
to four or more surnames are booking cruise ships to celebrate their union.
One company with its eye on the ball is offering special family reunion
package cruises and New York City show and tour luxury bus rides featuring a
Broadway show and dinner. That
said, planning a family reunion for some have become about as challenging as
planning a wedding reception. Carnival
Cruise Lines is expecting a 20 percent increase in capacity.
One site, Legendary Heritage Heirlooms located at www.lhh.fimark.net, boasts“ having everything you need to throw a great family reunion,” including a free family reunion web page, free reunion invitations, free flyer creator, free musical e-card announcements with midi music files commonly used at family reunions.
