The Little Guest Race: the event that brings families together!

The Little Guest Race is a crazy suitcase race in the spirit of the old soapbox races, in which children compete for magnificent prizes. The principle is simple: the children are divided into two groups – generally aged 3 to 5 for the first and 6 to 9 for the second – and ride superb Dream2Go suitcases from the Samsonite brand around a course created to measure by the hotel hosting the race.

 

The race is an exciting experience for the little ones, but it’s also an opportunity for parents to support their children and share a wonderful moment together as a family.

 

At the end of the race, special prizes (Izipizi sunglasses, FlikFlak watches, prizes to be decided by the hotel) are awarded to the top 3 finishers in each race, and all participants receive the suitcase they used as a gift, as well as a tote-bag full of surprises. So everyone goes home with gifts!

 

Before the race itself, a suitcase customisation workshop is organised in the hotel’s kids’ club. During this workshop, participating children can accessorise their racing car using the stickers provided, as well as hanging balloons and other decorations on it!

 

Once the workshop is over, the hotel team, accompanied by Little Guest representatives, take the children to the race site and help them warm up with a gentle warm-up. The races are then launched and, after a specially designed course in front of the hotel, the participants and their families are invited to a snack during which the prizes are awarded.

 

This race, which is more fun than serious, features the children on their Dream2Go Samsonite, an iconic suitcase that Little Guest offers its little travellers before they go on holiday… The promise of a happy and unique moment.
