About FTF

The Family Travel Forum (FTF) community is for those who Have Kids, Still Travel.

We are dedicated to the ideals, promotion and support of travel with children and www.FamilyTravelForum.com and www.travelBIGO.com are the first ports of call for family vacation planners.

What We Do

These sites contain expert and family-written stories, including first-hand reviews of tropical and ski resorts, reunion destinations, attractions, holiday weekends, family festivals, cruises, and all kinds of vacation ideas.

Family Travel Forum also offers a trip-planning consultation service, discounts from preferred vendors for individual families, 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 FTF provides the community with honest, unbiased information, informed advice and practical tips; all designed to make traveling a rewarding, healthy, safe, better value and hassle-free experience for adults and children who journey together.
