If the tourism sector is facing an unprecedented crisis, parents are confident and do not hesitate to do family activities this summer! According to a recent survey, only 6% of French people are worried about their summer vacations and 93% have chosen a destination in France for this year. So, which restaurant to choose with the little one? Is it possible to go to a hotel? YES! WelcomeFamily helps tourism professionals to welcome families as they should: parents AND children!

Leisure activities for families

France has 8 million families with one or more children, and among them, 93% chose a destination in France for their summer vacations. Restaurant owners, barkeepers, hoteliers, campground managers and leisure park managers are all on deck to welcome their customers, especially families. This year, even more precisely: attention, safety and welcome will have to be the key words.

"Despite the economic difficulties facing the hotel and restaurant industry, tourism professionals must be prepared to welcome families. The French want to get out, to enjoy the summer, with an increased desire to escape from the confinement. Summer is an opportunity to discover new restaurants, new places, new experiences, with their children, whatever their age. This is a major challenge for professionals, but solutions exist to give them the best welcome and soon count them among the regulars!" explains Frédéric Martz - co-founder of WelcomeFamily.

How to welcome families, a clientele with specific expectations?

Restaurant, hotel, campsite, zoo, amusement park, game rooms, museum... there is no lack of entertainment for our little ones. And yet, they are not always welcome

Who has never been bothered by bored and crying children during a museum visit? Which parent has never hurt his back changing his baby in the back seat of the car, because of the lack of a changing table in the restaurant (especially in the dad's bathroom)?

WelcomeFamily, accompanies hotels, restaurants, campsites, leisure parks, in their desire to better think about the reception of families.

Since 2011, this SME based in the south of France offers childcare equipment (changing tables, high chairs, booster seats, etc.) as well as games and toys to keep the little ones busy during a meal, a visit or a stay. WelcomeFamily has the trust of independent players but also of players present everywhere in France: Novotel, Ibis, Memphis, Courtepaille, Buffalo Grill, Mcdo, Gulli parc, etc.
