Austin Adventures Names February "Family Appreciation" Month - Invites Families to Webinar

BILLINGS, Mont. - Jan. 30, 2018 - PRLog -- Take a break from work, today is National Plan for Vacation Day! And in support and observance, the nation's leading active family travel company, Austin Adventures, has designated the entire month of February as "Family Appreciation" month with special incentives and giveaways, plus an interactive child & parent "take a national park vacation" webinar that all ages will want to attend.

According to the U.S. Travel Association, sponsor of National Plan for Vacation Day (https://www.projecttimeoff.com/planforvacation), "51% of Americans skip the one step that could help them vacation more: planning." Veteran tour operator Austin Adventures (https://www.austinadventures.com/) agrees and to assist families in their vacation planning, they encourage the public to log-on and participate in a lively and informative online webinar to be held Wednesday, February 7 at 7:00 PM Eastern Time. Click here to register.

The event is hosted by Kasey Austin, Outside Magazine 2014 Family Guide of the Year with a cameo appearance by Dan Austin, company founder, President and travel industry icon. Together, the Austin Family has set the bar for family adventure travel for decades, so much so, they are often referred to as "the First Family of Adventure". During this informal and informative webinar focused on the younger generation, Kasey will offer tips and insights on planning and visiting America's National Parks along with a few other popular destinations.

As an incentive to register and attend, every family that participates will receive a coupon worth $250 off their next Austin Adventures family vacation. Plus, all participating kids (age 6-12) whose parents end up booking a 2018 family national park trip will receive a cool logo-embossed backpack (on Day 1 of the trip) full of swag (logo water bottle, trip journal, field guide, hacky sack, stickers and more).

"We are really looking forward to sharing what we know and have learned from our 25+ years of taking families deep into our national parks," said Kasey Austin. "Dan and I will draw from our own experiences and help families with real time information that can assist them in making the most of a park vacation, whether with us or on their own. There will be a follow-up email survey as well as plenty of time for questions and answers."

The webinar will help Austin Adventures kick-off their first annual "Family Appreciation" Month (https://www.austinadventures.com/special-offer-family-app...). Dedicated to celebrating and encouraging family vacations worldwide, this observance comes on the heels of the company's wildly successful "Alumni Appreciation" month held in December, 2017.  Throughout the month there will be dedicated e-newsletters and blogs on family travel, special incentives, travel agent promotions and for extended families, an offer of a free trip for one guest in groups of ten or more booked. A free Insider's Guide to Planning the Perfect Family Adventure (https://www.austinadventures.com/free-family-travel-guide/) will also be offered.
