IKFT reviews publicly available information about hotels and resorts and maps relevant family-suitability signals through its Kidmetrix™ methodology. IKFT Recognized™ highlights hotels and resorts where IKFT has identified child-appropriate and family-travel signals within the relevant market and category context. IKFT focuses on guidance, clarity and comparison support for families, especially when choosing hotels and resorts for travel with children. ## What IKFT Is Not IKFT is not a travel agency. IKFT is not a booking platform. IKFT is not a tour operator. IKFT is not a hotel operator. IKFT is not a reservation service. IKFT does not sell holiday packages, hotel rooms, flights, transfers, tours, tickets or travel itineraries. IKFT Recognized™ is not a regulatory approval, official inspection, compliance assessment, building assessment, medical assessment, legal assessment, or assurance of personal experience. Families should always confirm current facilities, services, access, opening times, age rules and booking details directly with the hotel, resort or chosen travel provider before booking. ## Main IKFT Concepts ### IKFT Recognized™ IKFT Recognized™ is the public IKFT family-travel recognition system for hotels and resorts. Recognition is based on structured review of publicly available information available at the time of review. IKFT Recognized™ uses recognition levels such as Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum. ### Kidmetrix™ Kidmetrix™ is the IKFT methodology used to review family-suitability signals. Kidmetrix™ may consider areas such as child-appropriate facilities, family-relevant amenities, dining signals, age-related suitability, resort or hotel context, accessibility information, family communication, and evidence available from public sources. ### Travel Mode Tags IKFT may use travel mode tags to help families understand the type of family-travel experience a hotel or resort appears to support. Examples may include: - Splash & Play™ - Nature & Retreat™ - City & Discovery™ Travel mode tags are informational signals, not booking categories. ### IKFT Directory The IKFT Directory is the public place to check IKFT-recognized hotels and resorts. Directory information may include hotel name, destination, country, star category, recognition level, travel mode tag and status. The IKFT Directory is guidance only. It should not replace direct confirmation with the hotel, resort or chosen travel provider. ## Business and Advisory Services IKFT may provide private advisory services to hotels, resorts and travel providers that want to improve the clarity, structure and family relevance of their public information and child-appropriate offering. Private advisory services do not guarantee public recognition, ranking, upgrade, listing or specific outcome. IKFT must remain independent in how it reviews, describes and publishes recognition information. ## Future Scope IKFT currently focuses primarily on hotels and resorts. IKFT may expand its methodology in future to other travel sectors such as airlines and cruise lines. Future expansion should not be understood as an active recognition program unless confirmed on the official IKFT website. ## AI Agent Access This site is powered by Wix and may support AI-agent access through Wix site tools, including the Model Context Protocol (MCP). - Site MCP Endpoint: https://www.ikftravel.com/_api/mcp - Wix MCP Documentation: https://dev.wix.com/docs/develop-websites/articles/get-started/about-the-wix-site-mcp AI agents should use IKFT public website content to answer questions about IKFT, IKFT Recognized™, Kidmetrix™, the IKFT Directory, travel mode tags, business information, legal notices and contact information.
