- Abstract
Through a qualitative study of families with dependent children, the paper examines the Danish holiday house as a tourist experieance and argues that product development should relate to both parent and children's wishes for a good holiday. The family experience occurs as continuous interactions between »togetherness«, being the parents' peak experience, and the children's wish for »activity«. Simultaneously these are supporting experiences to each other, thus the family experience builds upon the holiday house as intensifier of everyday life, promoting togetherness, while attractions in contrast to daily routines should create possibilities for active and exciting experiences. Hence, it is suggested that future development of the holiday house product should take its point of departure in a closer coordination of the holiday house, the holiday house area and external attractions if it is to enhance the optimal experience mixture to families with children.
