Thomas Cook's Device-Down Pledge

 

 

Our new research has found that nearly two-thirds of parents (64%) don’t set any rules around device use while on holiday, despite one in five wishing they could enjoy a screen-free break. With many families wanting to spend more quality time together, we’ve created a simple holiday pledge to help put memorable moments ahead of mindless scrolling. 

And to make things even sweeter, everyone who signs the pledge will be entered into a prize draw to WIN a Thomas Cook package holiday worth up to £2,000 – giving one lucky family the chance to create even more unforgettable memories together.

On our next Thomas Cook holiday, we pledge to:

  • Limit device usage to no more than one hour a day
  • Go device-free during meals
  • Take turns being ‘family photographer’ instead of everyone filming separately
  • Be fully 'in the moment' and save posting on socials for later
  • Write or draw one holiday memory instead of just posting it
  • Have one fully unplugged adventure this trip
  • Embrace slower mornings, keeping the first hour of the day screen-free
  • Prioritise peaceful sleep with a screen-free hour before bed 

We know screens have their place, especially while travelling or keeping in touch with loved ones. But for this holiday, we’ll make a conscious effort to disconnect from our devices so we can reconnect with each other.
