Roots to Reunion: A New Way to Experience Family Vacations with Destination by Hyatt
The Destination by Hyatt brand is setting a new standard for family vacations with its innovative “Roots to Reunion” program, available through April 2025 at select resorts. This initiative is part of the brand’s latest campaign, “Discover Differently,” focusing on creating meaningful travel experiences for multigenerational families.
Less Planning, More Adventure
With the rise of multigenerational travel, families are eager to spend quality time together in picturesque settings. However, the challenge of planning trips that cater to everyone’s preferences often complicates the process. The “Roots to Reunion” program aims to alleviate these concerns by providing personalized travel experiences. Each participating resort features a dedicated “Family Travel Expert” who guides families in discovering local attractions and activities.
Katie Johnson, Vice President and Global Brand Leader for Hyatt’s Independent Collection brands, stated, “We know today’s travelers are seeking immersive and bond-building opportunities that push them out of their comfort zones.” The program is designed to help families reconnect while exploring the unique charm of each destination.
