Turkey is the second most popular destination for extended family holidays, Jet2 data shows
New data from Jet2, a leading British tour operator and airline, reveals that Turkey now ranks as the second most popular destination for holiday bookings involving multiple generations.
This often includes grandparents travelling alongside their children and grandchildren.
The findings provide valuable insight into changing travel habits and Turkey' s position in the international tourism market.
This popularity signifies that Turkey is attracting large families who are seeking shared experiences.
Such trips often require larger accommodation options, a wide range of activities for different age groups, and good access to facilities.
This trend is likely to influence both the supply and demand for specific types of holiday homes and package holidays in Turkey. According to Jet2' s figures, the Canary Islands remain the most preferred destination for these types of multi-generational holidays.
However, Turkey' s strong second-place position indicates significant and sustained demand from the important British market, which often serves as an indicator for broader European trends.
For travellers, this development means that popular destinations in Turkey, such as Antalya, Alanya, and the coastal regions, are likely to continue adapting to the needs of large families.
This may involve more family-friendly hotels, expanded entertainment offerings, and better infrastructure for groups.
Potential consequences for holiday planning could include increased demand for larger apartments, villas, or hotel rooms with multiple beds, particularly during peak seasons.
This, in turn, may impact price levels and availability.
