Traveling in comfort is one of the better luxuries of life. Whether it be riding on the elevator up to your King sized bed, sharing drinks with friends poolside, or flying in first class, it\u2019s always nice to treat yourself on vacation. And for plus-size TikToker Jaelynn, it\u2019s no different. Though she may not have the easiest time out in public due to having to maneuver her weight, she\u2019s made an effort to jumpstart the debate over hospitality services needing to be more body-inclusive. Since finding that many places don\u2019t alter their interior design or amenities to fit those of all sizes, Jaelynn has posted a video to TikTok listing the 10 things that places like hotels and travel services can improve on for plus-size people. TikToker Jaelynn didn\u2019t receive much support for her body-inclusive ideas Being plus-size herself, Jaelynn knows what could be done for bigger individuals to feel more comfortable and accepted while out in public or traveling. She feels so strongly about the subject that she took to TikTok to share her list of 10 changes that hospitality services should start adhering to. Jaelynn began her body-inclusive TikTok video saying, \u201cI\u2019m on a mission to revolutionize the travel industry and make it a more accessible, accepting, and accommodating place for all.\u201d Jaelynn continued, \u201cThe needs of plus-size travelers matter just as much as anybody else\u2019s.\u201d She then began talking about her 10-part list of size-inclusive hotel amenities after saying, \u201cWe deserve an environment that respects our needs and body diversity.\u201d Jaelynn\u2019s list of amenities that should be improved for people of all sizes included \u2014 \u201cProvide sturdy and wider chairs without armrests\u201d – \u201cEnsure beds with strong support and a high weight capacity\u201d – \u201cMake the elevators and hallways spacious\u201d – \u201cInstall grab-bars in showers and near toilets\u201d – \u201cTrain staff to be respectful, understanding, and accommodating to travelers of all sizes\u201d – \u201cProvide pool lifts and handrails at the entry of the pool\u201d – \u201cHotel restaurants should have roomy seating options\u201d – \u201cOffer larger beach and pool seating\u201d – \u201cHotels should include side-inclusive bathrobes\u201d – \u201cDisplay clear and accurate information on these amenities on hotel websites\u201d – After TikTokers viewed her video and heard the list of changes Jaelynn would like to see, a debate was sparked on whether or not she was asking too much from hospitality services. Not many people supported Jaelynn\u2019s suggestions, as most viewers thought Jaelynn should do something about her weight in order to fix the issues, saying, \u201cHow are you going to ask for things to change but you refuse to change yourself?\u201d As well as, \u201cI used to be obese and what you\u2019re talking about is not going to make life easier. It\u2019s called eating a healthier diet, losing weight, and having a healthy lifestyle.\u201d Some people even took to the comments to say it would be too expensive to make Jaelynn\u2019s alterations, saying, \u201cAs someone in hotel management, many budgets simply wouldn\u2019t allow for this.
