QVI Club: Explore Your World

When I was young, family vacations with my parents consisted of driving for a weekend to the village to visit my grandparents. In spite of that, we still had fun, managed to find interesting sites to explore and those are the memories that I still have. Family vacations have evolved over the years. There have never been more choices, more variety and more options available for family vacations as there is today.

Especially since the tragic events of 9/11, the focus on family and community has played a strong role in our society. The travel industry has taken notice and has geared up for families. From all-inclusive vacation packages and cruises, which are equipped with kids clubs and special activities; to resorts that supply a nanny for your stay, it's never been a better time for families to travel. Still not sure this is for you? Here are just a few of the benefits of taking a family vacation:

1. The family that plays together, stays together.

It is a time to get away from it all. Away from work, the phone calls, the kid's activities, the daily to do list. This is a great opportunity to spend time as a family and get to know each other. Go for a hike, build a sandcastle, explore a museum. There is more time to talk and spend time together without the daily distractions.

2. Teach your children well.

Travel is an excellent learning tool for kids. They can have the opportunity to learn about things first hand they may have learned in school, read about or saw on TV. Any destination can offer this learning experience whether it is a few hours drive away from you home or in Europe. Family vacations will teach children about different cultures, food, history, geography, climate, environment and so much more. The best part is that it's way more fun for them then learning it through homework!

3. New experiences they will never forget.

Family vacations provide a whole new venue for experiences that your kids never would have had otherwise.

4. Life is an adventure, especially on vacation.

Even if you are not particularly brave there are still many ways to experience the adventures that lie in every corner of our planet. It may be as simple as going to the zoo at your destination and seeing the animals that are local to that habitat or taking a jungle tour though the Amazon. There is so much to see and do, pick the adventures that appeal to your family and do them together.

5. Your kids won't be kids forever.

Doesn't it seem like yesterday that the teenager that just borrowed your car, was in diapers and day-care? Most parents agree that time seems to fly by quickly and those babies are grown before you know it. There will come a time that your children will have lives of their own and sad as it may seem, spending time with Mom and Dad will not be anywhere near the top of their list. Take the time for a family vacation while they still want your company.

6. Time to kick back and relax.

Now this part is important. One of the main reasons to take a vacation is to get some rest and recharge. It is important for everyone so don't over do it. Try and schedule an active day followed by a more relaxing day. It's hard to do in some destinations where there is so much to see and do like Disney World, but trust me, the kids will be less tired and cranky and it will give you a reason to come back to the destination again!

I know this all sounds so good, it makes you want to book that trip you've been putting off doesn't it? Well, I will add in a dose of reality here and include a few negatives. There are some natural stresses to travelling. Planes get delayed, kids get cranky, families can have too much of a good thing and get on each other's nerves. The list can go on, but don't let that discourage you, the advantages are too numerous to ignore.


Choosing a QVI Club Membership when planning a family vacation is one of the best decisions you will ever make. With QVI Club, you get access to thousands of hotels and resorts worldwide. Through QVI Club's 5 different types of membership, and their  various promotional holiday packages, you can find a vacation package that is flexible enough to suit the needs of yourself and your family.

You can also earn an extra income from the vacation packages separate from the free business opportunity you get by buying a QVI Club membership.

So whether you choose to pack the kids in the car or fly to more exotic destinations, the benefits are the same. As far as memories go, we tend to remember the good things; the time spent together as a family, the new things that were discovered, the new friends we made, the places we saw. This is what your children will remember, that and the fact that you were there with them to enjoy it.

For a price of USD 1,810, you can purchase the QVI Club Bronze Vacation Club Membership, which entitles you and three other members of your family a three weeks' vacation to be utilized one week (8 Days/7 Nights) every alternate year for the next five years.
