Increasingly, Albanian and foreign parents are trying to plan trips abroad for their children, as a way to give them unforgettable moments.

If you had promised children a holiday abroad, don?t worry as little ones don?t see the world as adults.
What does this mean? To make it clearer, we will refer to the following psychologist Oliver James, one of the best known in the UK, who three years ago, in an article for The Telegraph, argued why children should take vacations in the country. Theirs.
"Sustainability is essential for their age. This applies to all aspects, including vacations. Children need a holiday at home. Which means they like a place they know or come back to year after year, ?he said.
According to him, until they reach adolescence, children enjoy basic things.
"What the kids want is just a warm beach, but not too hot, a calm sea and a kiosk with ice cream nearby. Children are very nostalgic creatures, even when they are small. From the age of 5-10 they are very close to places. The same bike ride, the same ice cream, in the same cafe. These famous places and activities also create memories. ?
He added that "children today experience a lot of pressure and if they connect with a certain place, which they know well, they can come back later to empty the negative emotions of everyday life."
