Multilingual Kiosks For Inclusive Parks And Tourist Sites
Published: Sep 15th, 2025
The Role of Multilingual Kiosks in Making Parks and Tourist Sites More Inclusive
Tourism and public parks thrive when every visitor feels welcome and understood. Yet, for many destinations, language barriers remain a major challenge. According to the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), international tourist arrivals exceeded 1.3 billion annually before 2020, and language diversity continues to grow as global travel rebounds. For parks and tourist attractions, this means providing seamless, multilingual support is no longer optional it’s essential for accessibility, inclusivity, and visitor satisfaction.
Making Parks More Inclusive
Tourism thrives when every visitor feels welcome. But language barriers often create confusion, longer lines, and missed opportunities. With over 1.3 billion travelers annually (UNWTO), multilingual support at parks and attractions is now essential.
Eflyn’s ConciergeKiosk app with the rugged 21.5" Outdoor Self Order Kiosk makes this possible. Visitors can select their preferred language, purchase tickets, and receive QR codes or printed passes quickly and confidently.

Key Benefits

Built for the Outdoors
All-weather, solar-ready kiosks with vandal-proof security, cameras, and automatic brightness adjustment keep operations running anywhere.
Language should never be a barrier. With multilingual kiosks, parks and tourist sites can welcome the world, amplify accessibility, and modernize the visitor journey.
This is where Eflyn’s ConciergeKiosk app, paired with the rugged 21.5" Outdoor Self Order Kiosk, makes a significant difference. By combining smart ticketing technology with multilingual interfaces, parks and destinations can create a welcoming environment that caters to diverse audiences, strengthens cultural connection, and streamlines operations.
Why Language Access Matters at Parks and Tourist Sites
Visitors come from all over the world to experience natural beauty, cultural heritage, or local attractions. However, limited English proficiency—or unfamiliarity with the local language—can cause confusion during check-in, ticketing, or navigating facilities. The consequences often include:
- Longer wait times and staff dependency.
- Frustration or anxiety when instructions are unclear.
- Missed opportunities for upsells, group packages, or event attendance.
Studies show that 65% of travelers prefer self-service technology when it provides information in their own language. By facilitating multilingual access, kiosks amplify inclusivity and raise the likelihood of repeat visits and positive word-of-mouth.
How ConciergeKiosk Facilitates Multilingual Accessibility
Eflyn’s ConciergeKiosk app is designed with inclusivity at its core, offering multilingual support that allows every guest to interact confidently. Key features include:
- Customizable Multilingual Interfaces
Visitors can choose their preferred language at the start of their session, ensuring clear guidance for ticket purchasing, waivers, and park regulations. From Spanish to Mandarin, the platform can be configured to support the languages most relevant to a park’s visitor base.
- Seamless Ticketing Across Languages
The intuitive touchscreen makes it easy for non-native speakers to select dates, ticket types, and group packages. With built-in multilingual prompts, visitors reduce mistakes and complete transactions faster.

Benefits for Parks and Tourist Destinations

- Accelerating Ticket Sales
Faster, multilingual ticketing reduces congestion at entrances and ensures visitors can spend more time enjoying the park.

Multilingual kiosks help amplify upselling opportunities (like event entries, parking permits, or group discounts), tapping into markets that might otherwise miss promotions due to language barriers.

When guests feel informed and supported, satisfaction rises. This directly connects to increased loyalty, higher attendance rates, and stronger community pride.
