Worldwide Kids at the World Travel Market 2022

Earlier this week (7th-9th November) the Worldwide Kids team headed to The ExCel in London to attend the World Travel Market 2022, the leading global event for the travel industry.

Our consultants departed from Switzerland, UK and Greece, eager to once again be surrounded by friends, partners and influential figures in the hospitality and tourism industry. After 2 years of seeing the industry we value so highly come to a halt, the WTM 2022 allowed us to celebrate the return of travel - in person! The opportunity to catch up, connect and network was definitely not wasted, and there was a very distinct 'buzz' on the showroom floor.

Over the course of 3 days, we really did take a trip around the world; from Europe, the Middle East, the Americas and Asia, along with the latest in travel technology. The WTM brings together a passionate community, "contributing towards reshaping the travel world, but also about building a more sustainable, inclusive and tech-savvy future" (WTM London).

The travel and hospitality industry is recovering from a very difficult 2 years, and what a way to recover. The developments in the pipeline are nothing short of amazing, and hotels are now putting the needs of children at the forefront. It is wonderful to see that our little guests are also being treated as VIPs, just as they should be.

Networking with like-minded individuals is what these events are all about, and we will never get tired of talking all things luxury family travel and childcare.

Happy Children, Happy Parents!

During our many conversations at the WTM, children were being referred to as the 'decision-makers', a term that we at Worldwide Kids often use. Getting it right with the children means you get it right with the parents. The luxury travel industry is all about exceeding expectations, and for us, that means for the entire family, not just the ones who will be writing your online review. After all, offering a childcare service parents can trust, provides the opportunity to discover the services designed especially for them. Whether that be the spa, gym, bars or restaurants, they have the time and confidence to explore your wonderful resort, knowing their little ones are in safe hands.

Your little guests are more important now than ever before. They are your future guests.

Our role as consultants is to provide hotels that might have limited knowledge of childcare, or have concerns about where to start, with professional assistance and support every step of the way. We know that caring for children can be a daunting prospect, but that's our job; to provide you with a safe, and exciting service that you can feel confident in. Whether that be designing your childcare facility, auditing, childcare training, recruitment or creating unique, immersive experiences for your youngest guests. Our brand is built on providing safe, inclusive, exciting experiences for your little guests, and we have over 35 years experience in doing so.

By sharing our knowledge and experience with the industry we are working to ensure excellence in childcare across the board. We want to see hotels thrive in the family travel market, and ensure your little guests are having the experience of a lifetime.
