The trend of choosing to travel with relatives, strengthening the bond between family members

Traveling offers valuable opportunities for us to reconnect with our loved ones. A recent study on travel trends shows that Vietnamese tourists plan to travel with their immediate family and a smaller number choose to travel with other family members.

According to data from Booking.com’s 2025 Travel Trends Forecast*, 53% of Vietnamese travelers plan to travel with their immediate family, while 36% choose to travel with other family members. This shows that travelers are more inclined to spend quality time with their families. From exploring historical sites to enjoying stunning natural landscapes, these trips will become shared memories that help strengthen family bonds.

In honor of Mother’s Day, Booking.com, one of the world’s leading online travel platforms, has come up with six destinations that are perfect for a family vacation where shared experiences and quality time are the best gifts. With the ability to book accommodation, flights, transportation and activities all in one convenient place, Booking.com makes travel planning easier than ever, helping travelers create meaningful moments with their families.
