JAKARTA - Traveling back home for Eid with children is often a fun and challenging experience for parents.
In addition to traveling a long distance, families also often take advantage of the Eid holiday to travel together. Therefore, careful preparation is needed so that the trip remains safe, comfortable, and fun for children.
Minister of Tourism Widiyanti Putri Wardhana provides a number of tips for families who plan to go on vacation with their children during the 2026 Lebaran holiday. He emphasized the importance of planning the trip from the beginning, including ensuring the condition of the vehicle and choosing a destination that is friendly for children.
Quoting ANTARA, Widiyanti said parents should consider a tourist destination that suits the child's interests so that the journey does not feel boring.
In addition to choosing the right destination, parents are also encouraged to prepare various children's needs before leaving. Some of them are comfortable clothes, food and drinks, medicines, snacks and favorite toys so that children are entertained during the trip.
Widiyanti also reminded parents to pay attention to the time of visiting tourist destinations. The right time selection is considered to help families avoid congestion and visitor density.
"So that children will be more comfortable exploring the rides at the recreation site," he said.
According to him, parents also need to understand the steps to be taken in case of emergencies during travel or while at tourist attractions.
He also appealed to tourists to comply with the rules and safety guidelines set by destination managers and local authorities.
In addition, the use of travel insurance services can also be one of the steps to anticipate to provide a sense of security during a vacation with family.
The government itself has set March 21-22, 2026 as the national holiday for Eid al-Fitr 1447 Hijriah, while the joint holiday falls on March 20, 23, and 24, 2026. In addition, there is also a holy day of silence on March 19, 2026.
With this long holiday series, the public has a wider opportunity to travel or gather with family while celebrating Lebaran.
