Families in the U.S. spend $60 billion on vacations every year. However, most online travel sites today are geared towards the mass market. No one focuses on the specific challenges families face when traveling with children. Trekaroo is here to calm anxious parents with road-tested tips from family travel experts and parents.
Trekaroo is the only community of families who share the inside scoop for destinations worldwide. Family-focused advice, reviews, planning and booking tools are all found in one location. Our tools enable users to quickly filter a proprietary database of expert and user-generated content to unearth the relevant information for their family. The site answers questions such as “What should I do in New York with my toddler?” and “Where are the best hotel pools for children?" In addition, Globe Pequot Publishing has chosen us as their sole partner in bringing their popular Fun with the Family series online.«Less
