HONG KONG, May 29, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Family travel just
got a lot more fun this summer as The Peninsula Hotels around the
world introduce "Family Moments", a program offering great value
and fun for kids of all ages. Ideally located in the heart of
each destination city, Peninsula hotels are the perfect place for
