“I want to change the way kids travel. I want restaurant owners to look beyond the chicken nuggets and chips on the kids menu and to make sure their venue is fun for all ages.”

-Bella Tipping 

Bella Tipping has a prospering business at only 13 years old. One bad experience she had at a hotel inspired her to create “Kidzcationz,” at only 12 years old. Kidzcationz is a travel review website aimed at kids, allowing them to rate hotel restaurants and attractions based on how well they support their needs. She hopes that one day all hotels will treat kids the same as adults.

On this website, kids can log on, choose a venue and review, as well as observe and rate the destination. This allows people to book holiday stays through Expedia and contains images and past reviews from other members. This website is the source of her success and the reason why she was able to guest star on the The Today Show.

Bella states that her goal is to work at the nonprofit Virgin Unite and fight for social change. She said that she wants to live in a world where everyone is included. I find this inspiring that she has such a strong desire to help others. She has a strong ambition to the world a better place.

This has been her drive as an entrepreneur. She was not afraid to try to solve the problem of low quality hotels for kids. Although she is super talented, her willingness to take risks and innovate her business reveal key aspects of a successful entrepreneur. She is another great example of how young people can change the world.
