Supplier Certification

As the industry voice for family travel, the FTA has taken the lead in developing industry standards and guidelines that define what it means to be truly family-friendly and identify what suppliers need to do to earn this designation.

Increasingly, travel advisors and the traveling public are seeking ways to evaluate and select companies that are truly family-friendly. This certification takes the guesswork out of choosing Family-Friendly Suppliers. Certified suppliers will go through an application and audit process, confirming they meet the established criteria to be designated Family Friendly by the FTA.

“Our ultimate goal with this program and the Association at large is to help our industry better meet the needs and expectations of traveling families,” says Rainer Jenss, founder of the FTA. “By creating these industry guidelines, we are hoping to set the standards that will assist organizations when developing products and services for families, and help travel advisors choose who to work with when planning their clients’ vacations.”

Taking advantage of the FTA expertise in the area of family travel, as well as drawing from years of consumer data, the FTA Family Friendly Standards and Guidelines were developed to give suppliers within the industry an opportunity to make sure their own family-friendly offerings meet or exceed consumer expectations.
