A major hotel chain is offering free rooms to grandparents after two years of Covid restrictions limiting travel opportunities. IHG Hotels & Resorts has announced its new Grandparents Stay for Free limited offer to mark the easing of curbs.
Research conducted by the group revealed that 53 per cent of grandparents agreed that creating new memories with the extended family is a key priority for 2022. When asked what they missed most about not being able to spend time together as an extended family, almost a third of grandparents (32 per cent) felt the loss of not receiving hugs, whilst nearly a fifth of all those surveyed (17 per cent) missed making each other laugh.
Almost a third (28 per cent) of those surveyed said that spending quality time together and making long lasting memories (21 per cent) are the driving force behind booking their next multi-generation break.
