Recent studies concluded that Hawaii family vacations rated number one among 2006 hot family vacation destinations. One third of the respondents think a beach house in Hawaii would be the best family vacation.

The second rated among desired family vacation destinations was Caribbean or Mexico family cruise vacations. The cruise and Hawaiian beach house proved to be the most gender-safe vacation options.

More than four fifths of 16 to 20 year-old respondents favored the Hawaii family vacation or cruise to any other vacation choice.

More than 60 million tourists traveled to Hawaii in 2006 alone reported by the State of Hawaii's Department of Business, Economic Development, and Tourism. In addition, the top ten family resorts stated by Travel and Leisure Magazine are the Hilton Waikoloa Village and the Four Seasons Resort Haulalai at Historic Kaupulehu, the two on the Big Island.

Family cruise vacations also rated very high among the respondents. About one third stated interest in a

Caribbean or Mexico cruise. Can you say Pina Colada? Family cruises or beach houses may be the best selection for a gender safe vacation and a near equal percent of men and women preferred one of the two.

Disney vacations represented fourteen percent of the respondents. Eight percent went to Lake Tahoe ski trips and dude ranches was four percent. With Washington DC and the many government buildings having three percent. Interesting enough is the fact 25-34 year-old women mostly preferred a Disney family vacation.

Overall, fifteen percent of the men liked the Lake Tahoe family vacation the most, and the Disney vacation represented seven percent the least. Contrary to expectations, eighteen percent of the women best-loved the Disney family vacation, in opposition to the four percent for Lake Tahoe family vacation .

On the Travel and Leisure Magazine's top ten family resorts list was Disney Animal Kingdom Lodge, Disney Wilderness Lodge, and Disney BoardWalk Inn and Villas, all of which are in Orlando, Fl.
