Free holiday places for kids: Tui celebrates two decades of Holiday Villages by revealing secret formula for perfect family holiday


It is 20 years since Tui opened it’s ultimate family all-inclusive resorts first opened in Costa Del Sol and they’ve become a magnet for all ages since then. The travel firm is celebrating the anniversary with a range of activities across the eight resorts over the summer and plenty for free places for children. British parents are so passionate about family holidays that 87 percent would take their extended family away with them, if money was no object. They say a big swimming pool (46 percent), onsite entertainment that caters for everyone (45 percent), going all inclusive (45 percent) and having child friendly food (45 percent) are the key ingredients for keeping everyone smiling and cheerful. And the top international holiday destinations for families this year are Turkey (35 percent), Cyprus (31 percent), Majorca (28 percent), the South of France (24 percent) and Costa Del Sol (23 percent).
So what else makes the dream family getaway for us Brits? Top is being able to spend quality time with your kids, then it is all about being near the beach, a waterpark, adventure playground and being able to build sandcastles together. When it comes to food, breakfast buffets are the top priority followed by child-friendly food, a good choice of restaurants and unlimited ice creams. The list goes on and on but, arguably the most sensible parents, are desperate to make sure there is plenty of shade and times for a daily siesta. The research also found that the average British families go on three breaks a year, with 46 percent of parents admitting that they take their children on more family holidays now than they went they were the same age. TUI’s Holiday Villages Product Manager Natalie Johnson said: “Holidays have changed significantly over the last 20 years, but one thing is clear, spending time together as a family without the pressures of everyday life is the most important thing and we’re delighted to have created two decades of memorable family holidays. This research demonstrates that the formula for a perfect family holiday remains the same: a great range of all-inclusive dining options, exciting activities for the kids to enjoy, like our signature Aerial Adventure high ropes courses and entertainment options from day to night.”
