Center Parcs offers Sunflower lanyards to guests with non-visible disabilities in Germany and Denmark
Many physical, neurological or mental illnesses such as autism, anxiety disorders, epilepsy or heart and lung diseases are not recognisable at first glance. Wearing a Sunflower lanyard or bracelet will allow Center Parcs guests to indicate they have a disability from 16 November, UNESCO's International Day of Tolerance. In doing so, they signal that they may need additional support, patience or understanding.
Center Parcs, working with Hidden Disabilities Sunflower, will provide its guests in all six German parks, as well as at Center Parcs Nordborg Resort in Denmark, with a Sunflower lanyard or bracelet free of charge to guests who wish to discreetly indicate they have a disability that is not immediately apparent.
"We want all guests to feel welcome and safe with us. The Sunflower helps us to respond to the individual needs of our visitors without them having to explain themselves every time," says Frank Daemen, Managing Director Center Parcs Germany. "It's about empathy, respect and making holidays more relaxed for families with special requirements."
"Center Parcs offers a welcoming retreat in idyllic surroundings. In becoming Sunflower-friendly, the holiday resort extends its beautiful destinations to disabled people and their families so that everyone can enjoy the pleasures on offer. The Sunflower supports disability inclusion, with an offer of support, understanding, and kindness." Paul White, CEO, Hidden Disabilities Sunflower
Guests can request the Sunflower lanyard when booking. In addition, it is also available at the reception at any time, although there are also waterproof variants. A Sunflower ambassador is also available to answer questions at each park.
