have thinned, the air is fresh and the colour of the foliage is starting to turn. September is also the best time to spot wildlife such as elk, moose, bison and bear before they migrate for the winter, and visitors to Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming may even start to see snow. Mini cowboys will relish the
chance to don their Stetsons on Trafalgar’s nine-day Wild West Cowboys and Buffalos family adventure. Guests stay on a ranch and get stuck into activities including wagon rides, white- water rafting, horse riding and looking for bears in Yellowstone National Park.
w WINTER LONG-HAUL: Dubai When it comes to winter sun holidays, Dubai is always a winner, offering average temperatures of 27C in December, heaps of attractions for families to enjoy, and an exceptional choice of welcoming hotels and resorts.

Dubai Parks and Resorts, which opens for international visitors in December, is a must-do.” The mega-park features four theme parks within it, including Legoland Dubai and Motiongate Dubai, which pays homage to Hollywood movies. “Our top selling tip would be
to make sure you offer packages that include the theme park ticket price to get clients the best value,” adds Wadham. SHORT-HAUL: Lapland What better way to celebrate all things twinkly and festive than with a trip to Lapland to see Santa himself? “This is truly one of the most special family memories anyone could share at Christmas time – it’s pure
magic,” says Andy Jones, product director at Newmarket Holidays, speaking about the operator’s Lapland Day Trip. Families fly into the tiny airport
of Pajala, 70 miles above the Arctic Circle, before changing into thermals, and journeying by sleigh or husky ride through the forest to have a private
meeting with Santa. “Having crafted this trip and visited many times myself, I can say that any child would love it, even if they no longer believe in Father Christmas, as the Lapland experience is phenomenal – plus some lucky customers have seen the northern lights on their visit,” says Jones.
