We strive to provide accurate and honest destination research, including firsthand reviews of tropical and ski resorts, reunion destinations, attractions, holiday weekends, family festivals, cruises and all kinds of vacation ideas. FTF also offers content licensing to other media, and family travel consulting services to the travel industry.
Founded by business professionals with first class travel industry credentials and global family travel experience, the independent, family-supported FTF community shares honest information, informed advice and practical tips; all designed to make family trips a rewarding, healthy, better value, hassle-free — and as our kids would say, funner — experience for everyone.
