Family Travel Unplugged: More Options for Teenagers

The 21^st century bane is seeing your children socializing virtually instead of enjoying vacation. According to parent’s frustrations, hotels and resorts had created a programme to promote real world interaction. These interactions consists in doing some activities in the mountain such as snowshoeing and other activities in the Anti-Gravity Centre; and in the resort such as going to the spa, a nightclub, etc.

Small group trekking adventures are a sure way to make children forget about their phones. Another adventures-group offers active teen trips to focus on culture.

I totally agree with the first statement in this news, because it’s totally true that social networks have children and teens addicted. The ways to entertain them that they have thought are really cool and imaginative, and I’m sure they’re going to work.
Actually I think it’s a bad idea to give a phone or a tablet to distract a little child, because the way they learn is not connecting with the world but with the network. It’s more usual in teens because they stop liking toys and all that stuff, so they talk to their friends with social networks, but this is not the way you spend vacation with family. Moments had to be enjoyed, and not seen through screens.
