As family travel continues to rise, hotels can no longer afford to overlook the experiences of their youngest guests. With rising expectations among family travellers, it’s no longer enough to offer comfort. Parents want their children to feel excited, engaged and appreciated the moment they step through the door. A generic colouring sheet won’t suffice anymore.
Elevate your family guest experience by giving your kids’ welcome pack a makeover filled with meaningful and fun surprises. In this article, we present seven customised ideas that your hotel can implement to captivate young guests and create a memorable first impression that sets your property apart.
Kids’ welcome pack ideas tailored to your hotel property
1 - Travel Tales: Destination Themed Colouring Postcards
Destination-themed colouring postcards are a wonderful addition to any kids' welcome pack. They blend creativity, cultural connection and keepsake value into one enjoyable experience. These postcards feature line-drawn illustrations of local landmarks, iconic foods, wildlife or cultural scenes, inviting kids to colour them as they learn about the place they are visiting.
Not only do these activities keep children engaged in screen-free fun, but they also ignite curiosity and encourage family conversations about the destination. Once completed, the postcards can be mailed home to friends or kept as personalised souvenirs, adding a hands on and memorable touch to any family trip.
2 - Snap-venture: Kids' Photo Challenge Card
A Kids’ Photo Challenge Card is a fun and interactive way to transform your hotel and its surroundings into a mini adventure for young guests. This card features a curated list of photo-worthy items and spots, such as quirky architectural details, colourful murals, unique snacks and local wildlife. It encourages kids to explore the hotel property and nearby areas through a creative lens.
This self-paced, screen-friendly activity naturally promotes family bonding and fosters a deeper engagement with the destination. To add an extra layer of excitement, hotels can offer a small gift, such as a badge, ice cream voucher or exclusive souvenir, upon completion of the challenge. It's a simple way to encourage exploration during the stay and create lasting memories by the time of check-out.
3 - Junior Explorers: Family-Friendly City Map
A family-friendly city map is more than just a guide. It’s a specially curated invitation for families to explore your destination with confidence and curiosity. Designed with both practicality and playfulness in mind, this unique map highlights child-friendly attractions, playgrounds, casual eateries, stroller-friendly walking paths and local spots that families will love.
Featuring easy-to-read icons, fun illustrations and gentle walking routes, this map helps parents plan stress-free outings while engaging their kids in the day's adventures. Whether it’s their first visit or a return trip, this thoughtfully designed and visually appealing map enables families to make the most of their stay.
4 - Local Wonders: Destination Fun Fact Card Set
Local wonders fact cards are a fun and educational tool designed to introduce young guests to the unique points of interest, culture, animals, and traditions of your destination. Each card features a bite-sized fun fact along with a vibrant illustration or a simple question to spark curiosity.
These cards can be collected, traded or even used as a planning tool during family outings. They encourage children to connect with their surroundings in meaningful ways while providing parents with a simple, screen-free method to enhance their children’s experience. Compact and versatile, these cards add an imaginative and educational element to your hotel’s welcome pack.
5 - Little Perks: Family Coupon Booklet
A family fun coupon book is a delightful and value-packed way to surprise families with small, meaningful extras during their stay. Each booklet includes a curated selection of family-friendly vouchers, such as a "kids eat free" at the hotel restaurant, a complimentary family yoga lesson, early access to the kids’ playroom, or a discount at a local attraction.
These thoughtful coupons not only enhance the guest experience but also encourage families to explore more of what your hotel and its surroundings have to offer. It’s a low-cost, high-impact way to show hospitality, promote on-site amenities and support local partners.
6 - VIP Kids: Explorer Badge and Certificate
The VIP Explorer Badge transforms a family stay into an exciting adventure filled with discovery and special privileges. From the moment children receive their personalised badge at check-in, they gain access to exclusive perks, including unique activities, free access to play zones and delightful treats throughout the hotel.
At check-out, each child is presented with a personalised certificate that celebrates their journey, making them feel like true VIPs. This keepsake inspires families to return for more memorable explorations.
7 - Creative Adventure: Bespoke Kids' Activity Books
Bespoke activity books for kids provide hotels with a unique opportunity to demonstrate their commitment to family travellers right from the start. By creating a custom publication tailored specifically for young guests, hotels can highlight their dedication to making family stays engaging and memorable.
In addition to providing entertainment, these activity books help foster a deeper connection to both the destination and the hotel property, encouraging repeat visits and generating positive word-of-mouth.
