We now have the results of the “Study on Families Perception of Safety in Children’s Leisure Spaces within Tourist Accommodations” in its international version. Developed in collaboration with our partners at KID’S CLUSTER, the study’s main objective is to understand families’ opinions on perceived safety in the different areas of tourist establishments—hotels, campsites, resorts, etc.—that are used by children.

Two main conclusions emerge from the more than 100 families who participated in the study. On one hand, while children’s leisure spaces (46%) are identified as the key factor in creating a comfortable experience when traveling with kids, at the same time, pool areas or water parks (slides, water play areas, etc.) are, by far, perceived as the least safe areas for children in a tourist accommodation (65%).

This leads to the second key conclusion: overall, families are willing to pay more for their stay in exchange for the implementation of additional safety measures by the tourist accommodation (83%). In this regard, it is particularly significant that the age at which parents would allow their children to move and/or play alone in different areas of the hotel decreases significantly when these enhanced security measures and/or on-site supervision are in place.

Once again, we would like to thank KID’S CLUSTER for their collaboration, as well as the two member companies specializing in the children’s sector—Qualla Kids and The Onion Inside—for their valuable contributions to the study’s design.
