A now abandoned 15th century Incan citadel, Machu Picchu is arguably the most recognizable and most well known attraction in South America. The ancient city is hidden high in the clouds of Andes in Peru, and has attracted travelers for years. It's famous for its advanced dry-stone walls, intriguing ruins, and sweeping mountain views.

This amazing site can be visited in a number of different ways, from day trips, to challenging multi-day hikes, to luxury train rides. Tours are offered from 6:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and keep in mind, it can be chilly in the morning and very hot at midday, so dress appropriately. On your visit you should wear pants - not shorts - to avoid insect bites. It is recommended you enter the site with a guide, to avoid issues with security. To enter the site, you must present your passport along with your ticket, and you should ask to get your passport stamped to commemorate the visit. However you choose to visit Machu Picchu, it is sure to leave you speechless.

One of the most popular ways to get to Machu Piccu is via the Inca Trail. This ancient trek is a challenge, but generally doable if you are in basically good shape. Though it is ill-advised to attempt the Inca Trail after zero training. Make sure you have at least a few months of hiking or stairmaster under your belt, ideally practicing in an area of high altitude, as Machu PIcchu is 7,972 ft above sea level. The best way to get acclimated to the altitude, and avoid the effects of altitude sickness, is by spending a few days in Cusco before your trek up the Inca Trail.

The Inca Trail is by far the most famous trek in South America, and is considered by many to be one of the top 5 treks in the world. It is a spectacular experience, as you literally tread in the footsteps of the ancient Inca. Typically Inca Trail treks take between 3-4 days. It's important to note that traffic along the trail is heavily restricted and highly regulated. Only 500 people a day are permitted on the Inca Trail - this includes porters and guides - leaving room for roughly 300 tourists.

Still dangerous in some neighborhoods, Rio is definitely a place best visited on a tour. Plus, Spanish, French, and English might help you get to the restroom or order food, but the national language of Brazil is Portuguese, so having a guide can be especially helpful when getting around the city. Nearby are the musically immortilized Copacabana and Ipanema beaches - heavily touristed yet still a fun outing.

When one thinks of top attractions in South America, one may only consider the mainland continent. But one should reconsider. The Galapagos are without a doubt one of the most fascinating destinations on earth thanks to its unique and diverse wildlife. The historically significant Galapagos is best visited via small ship cruise, as air travel is limited to two small islands.

Patagonia as a region is shared by and Chile. The Argentine side features dry steppes, grasslands, and deserts. While the Chilean side has glaciers and temperate rainforests. Patagonia is notable for its stunning formations of bright blue ice. Yet another attraction in South America that needs to be seen to be believed!

The enigmatic Amazon, with its miles upon miles of dense jungle, hidden tribes, and diverse wildlife, is a sight to behold. Often visited via river cruise, the Amazon Rainforest is perfect for those travelers who are interested in nature, conservation, eco-friendly travel, and of course wildlife. The Amazon boasts over 40,000 species of plants, 1,500 species of birds, 400 species of mammals, and 2.5 million species of insects.

You can visit the Amazon any time of year, but the wet season (January-June) vs the dry season (July-December) will make a difference in what you see. The wet season means more byways are open for your river cruise vessel to traverse, and there is a higher possibility of swimming in the river. But, conversely some hiking opportunities may not be available because the ground is too wet.

Like many cities in South America, Cartagena in Colombia once held a reputation for being unsafe for travelers. Today, the vibrant coastal city has shaken it's ugly past and is an extremely popular attraction in South America. Heavily influenced by Spanish colonialism, the Old Town of Cartagena is a small walled city with a distintly European feel, right down to the cobblestone streets. There's a reason for the saying "Castagena Hot," the high temperatures in Cartagena are on another level, especially when you add the 80-90% humidity. December-April is considered the dry season in Colombia, and it's also the peak tourist season.

Shops, churches, restaurants, and cafes mean you could spend your whole tour within these walls, but there's so much more to see! Take a boat ride to the white sand beaches for an afternoon of bliss, or venture outside the tourist district for a glimpse at local Colombian life (it is not advisable to do this without your guide).

Eleanor Roosevelt expressed her awe at seeing Iguazu by saying "poor Niagara!" That should tell you something! This incredible waterfall on the Iguazu River is the largest in the world. It is actually claimed by both Argentina and Brazil, as it spans the border. The falls can be reached from either Foz de Iguaçu in Brazil, Puerto Iguazú in Argentina, or Cuidad del Este in Paraguay. Helicopter rides are offered in Brazil for aerial views of the falls. Inflatable boat rides are offered in Argentina that take visitors close to falls. Otherwise you can reach the falls by walking or driving through

The Bolivian salt flats, called Salar de Uyuni, are the largest salt flats in the world. The temperature at the salt flats is relatively stable, with the highest temperatures in November-Janury, and the lowest in June. Salar de Uyuni serves as a breeding ground for several flamingo species, so wildlife lovers should bring their cameras!

You've seen the images of Salar de Uyuni. They show a sheer reflective surface, flat and stretching to the horizon, reflecting the sky such that people appear to be walking on air...literally. This optical illusion also allows for countless forced perspective shots - and they can get pretty creative! After rain, a thin layer of calm water turns the salt flat into a mirrored surface. Salar de Uyuni is famous for its photographic potential, but it is also great fun for jeep rides across the expansive empty landscape.

Another enigmatic archaeological site in South America, Easter Island has puzzled historians for centuries. Recent discoveries have revealed that the nearly 1,000 large stone heads rising out of the ground on an island off the coast of Chile, were even larger than previously thought. These statues are called Moai, and they were created by the early Rapa Nui people.

Tourism in Latin America has increased considerably in recent years. In 2015, 96.6 million foreign tourists decided to visit the region, the highest figure in a decade. International arrivals at South America grew 4% last year, according to the World Tourism Organization.

TripAdvisor recently announced its Traveller's Choice Awards for destinations. The winners were determined using an algorithm that took into account the quantity and quality of reviews and ratings for hotels, restaurants and attractions in destinations worldwide, gathered over a 12-month period, as well as traveler booking interest on TripAdvisor," as confirmed by Laura Martínez, Media Executive of the webpage.

9. Jijoca de Jericoacoara, Brazil

This small municipality has become a top destination for lovers of watersports and nature. With a short history in the tourism industry, Jericoacoara welcomes thousands of tourists offering them attractions such as its national park or its incredible Duna do Por do Sol.

8. Santiago de Chile, Chile

With a population of a bit over 6,158,000, Chile's capital is the only city of the country that made it to the list. Nevertheless, the city's abundant tourist attractions justify its excellent ratings by travelers. Cerro San Cristobal and Cerro Santa Lucia, La Moneda Palace, the 18th century Metropolitan Cathedral, la Chascona or the Central Market are just some of the landmarks of the city.

6. Cartagena de Indias, Colombia

Declared World Heritage by UNESCO, the walled city of Cartagena de Indias brims with appeal and attractions for tourists, with highlights such as the San Felipe de Barajas castle, Santo Domingo Square and the Watchtower. It is also offers the possibility to visit the Baru peninsula: a coastal zone with unbelievable white sand beaches bathed by crystal clear waters.

1. Buenos Aires, Argentina

Buenos Aires is the fifth most-visited city in Latin America, with 2.18 million tourists, according to MasterCard's Annual Index of Global Destination Cities 2015. However, TripAdvisor users have selected Argentina's capital as the most popular destination in South America and the seventeenth in the world. Most of the best-loved tourist attractions of the birthplace of tango can be found between the Monserrat and San Telmo neighborhoods. Avenida de Mayo is one of city's most prominent areas, with the Casa Rosada and the Palace of Congress standing opposite to one another, and flanked by other notable architectural works, such as the House of Culture, the Barolo Palace and the oldest café in the city: Café Tortoni.

Latin America's economy, taken as a whole, is set to contract 0.9% in 2016, dragged by Brazil's recession. According to BBVA Research's Latin America Situation report corresponding to the first quarter of 2016, the region's economy is expected to start gaining momentum in 2017, with a growth rate of 1.9%.

Digital banking has grown by leaps and bounds around the world and in Chile as well. The possibility of transferring money and performing many other financial operations through ATMs, mobile telephones, computers and tablets via Internet, is now joined by an innovative bank account on Facebook, the first of its kind in Latin America.

Hoteliers and activity providers can gain significant benefits from travel insights. They can use them to improve their offering, transform their operations, make their guests happier and thus increase their sales. Following thorough research, we concluded that Millennial Family Travel is one of the most important travel trends of 2020.
A new travel trend is emerging

Most people think of traveling as a solo adventure or a trip with friends. Although this may be true, many families are also starting to travel regularly, reinforcing their members' bonds and getting away from the daily hustle and bustle of city life.

In addition to the families who mostly travel on their typical yearly vacations, a new demographic group is emerging.

Parents who work remotely. They are people who earn their living by working from their computers and are location-independent.

Almost half of them belong to the demographic group of Generation Y (aka Millennials). Since most of them are reaching the end of their early Adulthood (22-34) they are now becoming parents.

Working and traveling as a new way of life

Many of these young, new families are choosing a more adventurous kind of life, traveling around the world with all their members. Since the parents work remotely, they can earn a living from anywhere in the world. Whether that's a glamping tent in Norway or an exotic beach resort in Bali.

This is reinforced by a finding from CN Traveller 2019, stating that "Given that by 2020 it's estimated that roughly half the UK and American workforce will be freelance and that 40 percent more children were being home-schooled in 2017 than in 2014 (48,000 in total), it's no surprise that parents will be embracing the freedom this gives."

Traveling families are becoming a new type of customer that hotel managers and activity providers should not take lightly, as their numbers will only increase in the years to come.

Some of these families, like @thebucketlistfamily, @courtneyadamo and @napp y_nomad_ have started gaining significant attention on Instagram and their profiles can give valuable insights to hoteliers and activity providers on what to offer as a service to this growing demographic group.

The need to experience

The reason why Millennial families choose this kind of lifestyle can be centered around one basic need.

The need to experience.

Whether they are full-time digital nomads or typical vacationists they want to experience the most out of life. For most of them, accommodation is an obvious service that usually fails to impress. An amenity which as long as it meets their basic needs for it, will not add any additional value to their overall stay.

On the contrary, what they are actively seeking and can certainly impress them are experiences. Millennials are known to have a need to see and feel new things. Some of the older generations are even making fun of them due to their rebellious, uncompromising nature.

Whatever you think of them, one thing is certain. They are changing the way we perceive travel. The typical accommodation-focused hotel is slowly shifting into a dynamic experience-driven facility.

The room in which the customer stays is just the tip of the iceberg. It's everything else before, after and while he is staying that makes his experience truly memorable. And this is even more important for Millennial travel families.

From horse riding to treasure hunts and from tree-planting to snorkeling, there are endless ways to offer an unforgettable experience to your customers.

Not convinced yet?

A survey made by Expedia Group 2019 found that "85% of family travelers are looking for outdoor activities to keep their families entertained". It's a stunning number that highlights the importance of experience offering to this growing demographic group.

Generation Alpha and how they affect family travel

Gen Alpha refers to those who were born after 2010. Specifically between the years 2010 and 2025. It has already started gaining considerable attention from scientists, sociologists and of course, marketers.

A better representation of their characteristics might be given though by a second name, the "Glass Generation". They are those who unlike Millennials and Gen Z, were born at the center of the absolute domination of the digital age.

For Millennials, social media, internet, and smartphones are still a tool they got familiarized with and learned to use to communicate, get educated and make decisions.

For Gen Alpha, these resources are the main way of socializing and interacting with one another as they grew up using them in a natural way. Gen Alpha children were born with all these digital devices being fully present around them and can't think of how life would be without them.

The whole family is Involved in the decision process

A study that was unveiled by Phocuswright in Amsterdam included the responses of more than nine thousand consumers across nine countries who have children or grandchildren aged nine or younger. As revealed by the study, more than eight in ten travelers said that planning a family trip is a combined effort for the entire family, while 60 percent of those surveyed said that travel ideas come from both children and adults. The findings say that many of the travel decisions that families make are based on satisfying the younger Gen Alpha. Short T erm Rentalz 2019

In other words, Gen Alpha children can greatly affect decisions that parents make about traveling destinations, accommodation and choice of experiences.

The verdict

Concluding, family travel is becoming more and more common as Millennials start having their own families. Their need for experiences and the opinions of their children (Gen Alpha) play a crucial role in the decision process when making their travel plans.

Some even choose to live a nomadic lifestyle, traveling across the world full-time with their families and working remotely from their computers.

As a result, hoteliers and activity providers must recognize this upcoming target group and keep them in mind when designing their product, service and marketing actions.

The unprecedented digital literacy of Gen Alpha and Millennials, combined with their thirst for experiences make the existence of an online experience booking platform an invaluable tool in a travel professional's arsenal.
