This is rather a grey area. If the photos are not yours, then you do not own the copyright to them. Usually in the UK, if you photograph an individual the photographer will ask the subject to sign a 'model release' form prior to publishing. If people are in a photograph as part of the general public then this of course is unrealistic and no permission is required.
I assume these photos were taken abroad, so this might also influence your legal standing. Also, as mentioned in another reply, it might also depend on whether the pictures are embarrassing or not.
You could try and demand the travel company withdraw those brochures form circulation. They will probably refuse, you could then threaten to sue, in which case they may give you some form of compensation; I doubt it, or they may say "go ahead and sue". Can you afford it and what would your grounds be for suing? Let's face it, newspapers and magazines publish pictures everyday of people especially celebs without their permission and in less than kind circumstances.
To conclude, give it a go if you think it is worth it, otherwise frame the picture and put in your bathroom wall.

It is illegal to take photos of children without the parents consent in this country but i dont know about abroad.
It could be worth finding out because a free family holiday sounds good.

If the vacationer Board did no longer have you ever sign a launch on the time you registered or the different business company did no longer have you ever sign a launch then they might desire to eliminate them. deliver them an authorized letter and put in the letter that legal action would be taken in the event that they do no longer eliminate them. whether you may to look on the registration education. various places that carry activities, excursions, or conferences have of their registrations an computerized launch clause approximately photos often in a assertion that publicizes you provide them permission to take photos on the form and have the means to apply them. wish this enables.

If the photos are embarrassing I see your point. Perhaps you should contact the Travel Company and pose the question to them.

The answer is nothng, unless the image is morally wrong. Creative copyrights are owned by the photographer that took that image, any aletrations to the image are entirely his own choice.
It's just one of those things about creative copyrights...

They should of got a consent form signed by you and your family
I was asked once and said no, unless they were paying me, so they could not use the footage they had shot,
