We dig out a few pieces of advice to make sure your holiday with the kids is memorable for the right reasons\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n

Getting a get-away just right can be trickier than we might imagine. With tourism and holidaying as a multi-billion dollar industry in its own right \u2013and a growing one \u2013 it seems to have simply become another thing on the list of \u2018concerns\/gripes\/doubts\u2019 that we have in daily life.<\/p>\n

Well, it doesn\u2019t mean that a holiday with the family has to be pre-visualised as some kind of disastrous implosion. Providers such as On The Beach make it easy for us to book\u00a0family holidays, but if all the\u00a0journalists in the world<\/a> were to be believed, we\u2019re taking a wrong turning even by considering a family trip! However, unlike Peter White in the above link, we don\u2019t recommend taking a narrow boat holiday with your family \u2013 especially if it\u2019s a young family.<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s the difference \u2013 holidays with kids when they\u2019re kids; or kids when they\u2019re adults? Very often it\u2019s the latter that turns out worse, as each member of the group is an independent individual in their own rights\u2026and each might have their own idea of what they think is fun.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re planning on a family holiday with your (younger) offspring, a few things to bear in mind. Check and double check that your hotels or selected accommodation is child-friendly. More importantly, what about the culture you are visiting? Some destinations in Asia and even Eastern Europe are tailor made for adults, backpackers or adventurous groups, but they might not be family friendly.<\/p>\n

Also, bear in mind the customs and dress of particular countries \u2013 do you need to cover up when visiting certain sites or monuments? What about food? If you have young children who require milk-based products, you need to be especially sensitive in kosher or halal countries when it comes to preparing dairy products.<\/p>\n

And on a practical note \u2013 will there be enough for the kids to do? Again, it\u2019s about ability levels. Places like Turkey and Egypt offer excellent adventure packages for adults \u2013 just make sure you\u2019re in a hotel that also caters to the novices and children. You can\u2019t take a three year old mountain biking across Cappacdocia. Trust us, we\u2019ve tried\u2026.<\/p>\n
