Family holidays
Article Abstract:
Changes in the household structure are impacting the UK's family holidays market. Among factors that influence demand for family holidays are the household composition, the desire by many women to pursue a career rather than having children and the lifestage of families. The family holidays market is centered around the school holidays in July and August, with some one third of summer bookings in 1996 accounted for by families with children. It is forecast that the family holiday market will continue to seesaw although there is a downward long term trend.

Pre-family holidays
Article Abstract:
An increasing number of young people with no families in the United Kingdom are taking foreign holidays. Surveys show that the pre-family group of consumers, which equalled 11.2 million in 1996, will expand by more than 5% by the end of the millennium. Members of the group are less inclined to choose a domestic holiday in preference to a foreign on. They have more disposable income than adults with families and are consequently less affected by higher holiday costs due to inflation or other economic trends.
