More want child-free holidays!
After a survey
found that stressed-out parents increasingly prefer holidays without
their children THOMSON's, the holiday company, is to expand its Couples collection.
The research revealed a 46 percent rise in bookings in its Couples
collection in the last two years. Over 34 percent of parents of children under
18 already take child-free holidays, leaving the children with their
ex-partners or other family members. Of those who currently holiday with their
children, 57 percent said that given the chance, they’d go away without them.
Shared
parenting between divorced and separated mums and dads and hands-on
grand-parenting are also on the rise, allowing adult tourists child-free time
to holiday with friends or a new partner.
Of
those surveyed, 43 percent said that they chose child-free holidays to spend
more quality time with their partners, and a further 34 percent said they
needed a rest from family life. Nearly 55 percent said they enjoy the calm and
quiet of an adults-only holiday, and nearly one in three confessed that they
don’t like other people’s children.
A
Thomson executive said: ‘Family holidays are undoubtedly a great way to spend
time together, but even the most dedicated of parents need time away from their
children sometimes. An adults-only holiday can allow couples to re-connect with
each other and have a well-deserved break.’
