Abstract

It is seen that parents prefer child-friendly hotels in their hotel choices because of their facilities compared to other hotels. Based on this direction, the aim of this study is to determine the distinguishing features of child-friendly hotels from other hotels in child nutrition and to provide information for parents' hotel preferences. According to the tourism statistics reports of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism for 2020, Manavgat, Alanya, Serik/Belek, Kemer and Fethiye districts were determined as the five coastal cities that attract the most tourists in the Mediterranean region. Four child-friendly hotels from each district were selected from the high-rated child-friendly hotels of a TÜRSAB-approved travel agency. In this context, a total of 20 child-friendly hotels were selected from five districts. Within the scope of the qualitative research, the nutrition service of child-friendly hotels in 5 holiday resorts that attract the most tourists in the Mediterranean region was examined. By determining the distinctive features of child-friendly hotels in nutrition service, it was aimed to create a resource that offers families an idea in hotel preferences. Nowadays, it has been determined that the 5 star child friendly hotels selected in the Mediterranean region, in addition to serving as a children's buffet, have developed special menus for children with special food intolerance, increased tendency towards natural and fresh foods, and the use of natural products in their menus. In this direction, kitchen chefs can innovate in children's buffets by creating new menus in order to reduce the fastfood-containing foods offered in the nutrition service in child-friendly hotels.
