Hello, communicators:

To celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, which takes place from Sept. 15 to Oct.15, travel booking website Travelocity curated eight trip itineraries intended to highlight Latin culture in Los Angeles, Houston, Miami, New York, Chicago, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic and Mexico.

“Through our conversations with our U.S. Latino customers, we knew that connecting to one’s culture is immensely important for these parents, and travel is a major way of achieving that with family,” Travelocity brand manager Jorge Avalos said in a press release. “In fact, over 80% of Latino parents have already brought their children on culture-focused travels. Latino parents are seeking ways to share family stories, traditions, language and more with their children, and we are honored to help cultivate rich experiences that may then be passed down to future generations.”
