Hungary: MOL opens family-friendly fuel station

This opening aligns with the National Tourism Development Strategy to improve the quality of hospitality.

Apart from the playground, it offers services such as diaper-changing stations, as well as family and children's toilets, with disability access. The new site enables parents and grandparents to relax, not only children.

The development was jointly financed by the Hungarian Tourism Agency (MTÜ) and MOL itself, informed Budapest Business Journal.

The new site is located nearby Balaton, one of Hungary destinations with the highest turnover. This opening aligns with the National Tourism Development Strategy, improving the quality of hospitality, according to a press release.

"Family-friendly tourism means a complex tourism development philosophy, which motivates every domestic service provider to approach receiving guests in a child and family-friendly way, with gas stations being an important element”, said a director at the MTÜ, Szabolcs Juhász.

"In Hungary, we have 450 gas stations, and we have child-friendly elements at several of them, with the introduction of even more elements planned," said MOL's retail director, András Orosz.
