 travel industry watchdogs, all-inclusive family vacations are now more popular than ever. Why? Busy moms, who are most often the vacation decision-makers, and who juggle careers, kids, carpooling and meal planning, are increasingly drawn to vacations where every detail, every decision and every meal is planned and provided.

"Almost all of our trips are booked by the mom," says Kurt Selisch, owner/operator of Middle Fork River The Middle Fork River is a tributary of the Tygart Valley River, 31 miles (50 km) long, in north-central West Virginia in the United States. Via the Tygart Valley, Monongahela and Ohio Rivers, it is part of the watershed of the Mississippi River, draining an area of 152 square  Tours, one of the top rafting outfitters on Idaho's Middle Fork of the Salmon, a popular family vacation destination. "They are drawn to the adventurous and all-inclusive nature of our trips."

, fishing, soaking in natural hot springs and exploring Native American history -- all for about $300 per day.

"When you consider the price of a gourmet meal in a restaurant, the cost of admission to an amusement park amusement park, a commercially operated park offering various forms of entertainment, such as arcade games, carousels, roller coasters, and performers, as well as food, drink, and souvenirs. , or the price of a fishing guide for a day, a Middle Fork river trip provides all of these and more at a fraction of the cost," adds Les Bechdel, owner/operator of Canyons, Inc., another top Middle Fork outfitter. "Plus, families reconnect when life is slowed to 'river pace;' they interact more and share experiences without the distractions of everyday life."
