Modern life makes everyone busier in work and study. Therefore, summer is not only a time for students to rest and relax, but also an opportunity for friends and family members to plan trips and enjoy interesting travel experiences together. Travel experts also recognize that family group travel has increased sharply in recent years and become one of the "explosive" travel trends in the near future.
Ms. Pham Thi Thuy, Chau Son Ward (Phu Ly City) - a worker at a company in Chau Son Industrial Park (Phu Ly City) shared: Every summer, my company organizes a trip for employees and workers but does not allow relatives to go with us. In previous years, my family's economy was still difficult, so we could not organize a family trip ourselves. Therefore, my children were also at a disadvantage. For the past 3-4 years, in addition to traveling according to the company's policy, every summer my family also organizes a family group trip, including grandparents on both sides and siblings in the family. This is not only an opportunity for everyone to get closer and connect with each other, but also an opportunity to rest and a gift to encourage the children after a year of hard study and efforts to achieve many achievements.
Through surveys and practical research, it is shown that the trend of traveling in groups of families and friends is increasing this summer while the number of tour contracts with a large number of guests from agencies, units and businesses has decreased sharply. In particular, air travel this year is quite "quiet". The reason explained by tourism businesses is that this year's airfares have increased; economic difficulties, the number of orders has decreased, causing many units and businesses to cut costs for tourism activities. The contracts for booking summer tours this year are mainly for family groups consisting of many generations or groups of families with close relationships who also live in the same alley or work at the same agency or business, usually ranging from 15-25 people, including adults and children.
Ms. Nguyen Thu Hien, Group 2, Le Hong Phong Ward, Phu Ly City said: In the alley where I live, most people go to work from morning to late at night, so they rarely meet each other. Usually, only at the end of the year do families have the opportunity to meet, exchange and chat during the year-end party in the alley. In recent years, during the summer, small groups of families in the alley arrange their work and plan summer trips together to strengthen solidarity and foster feelings. This year, my family and 4 other families in the alley plan to travel to Da Nang in early July. I find such family group trips very meaningful, enriching the lives of families. Through the trip together, everyone shares more about themselves, their work, and their lives. Children have fun playing together. They are often curious and ask their parents a lot of questions about new experiences, creating conditions for parents to interact and exchange with their children naturally and comfortably.
This year, the family travel trend is very popular, promoting the value of traditional families. Due to the high price of air tickets, instead of booking tours by plane like previous years, this summer, family groups often book tours to nearby destinations such as Sam Son beach (Thanh Hoa), Cua Lo (Nghe An), Ha Long (Quang Ninh), Cat Ba (Hai Phong) ... with the most popular vacations being from 2-4 nights. To save maximum travel costs for customers, for family groups of less than 15 people, Nguyen Truong advises customers not to book tours. Instead, we advise on schedules, design tours and book services such as tickets, motels, hotels; at the same time, cooperate with other travel agencies to rent tourist cars for customers if needed. In particular, Nguyen Truong always has specially designed tours, suitable for family groups with slower frequency of visits because there are more children and elderly people.

To provide products that meet customer needs, tourism and travel businesses in the province have launched new itineraries from tours to explore the Central Highlands and the Northwest to tours of the Central islands, Phu Quoc, etc. In addition, to keep up with the trend of traveling in groups of families and friends, tourism agencies have also promoted hotel and airline ticket booking services according to customers' specific requests at preferential prices. To have a reasonable tour price - one of the issues that customers are most concerned about because the budget for the trip will increase when the whole family participates, tourism and travel companies have flexibly designed the 2024 summer family tour early by discussing with service providers, ensuring quality and professional tour itineraries and services with the most preferential and reasonable tour costs for customers.
According to tourism experts, family tours often focus on family values, and tour activities aim to highlight the connection and cultural experiences between families, between parents and children. Tourism agencies often design tours that guide family members to participate in playing folk games, enjoying regional specialties, interacting, participating in dancing and singing activities, lighting campfires, etc.

Family group travel is the summer travel trend this year, and is expected to increase sharply in the coming time. Traveling with family or friends is not only a way to enjoy vacation time but also shows respect for family values and social relationships. Therefore, it is not only a simple travel meaning, but also a trip that connects family members to experience, relax, and cultivate feelings.
