Latino aerobic and dance aerobic are in the third (red) column of ranked
activities. This shows that these activities are not the preferred ones. Even 40%
of animators said that they do not prefer activities like Latino aerobic. These
activities, although attractive and popular in urban environments, are on 34th
(Latino) and 31st (dance) place (chart 7). Hi and low aerobic and step aerobics
are ranked on the second (green) column of preferred activities on 23rd and
28th place. These data show that the ones who prepare for the job as animators
have some basic knowledge of aerobic. 62,7% of animators like aerobic (chart 6
hi and low aerobic marked with red).
Stretching and easy exercise are ranked pretty high. It is very popular among the
animators. It belongs to the first column of the preferred activities (chart 7). The
animators can be very creative during these activities as they can work (picture
10) in any environment (on the beach, terrace, grass, on the stage in the sunset
etc.). The guests like this activity very much. When they are on vacation they
feel that the fast tempo wouldn’t fit the slow pace of relaxation especially if

they are older. The stretching adore 45,3% of animators, 17,3% like it a lot and
16% just prefer this activity and this puts it on the 8th place.
Easy exercise is a preferred activity of 14,7% of animators, 13,3% like it a lot
and 33 survey respondents or 44% adore this activity.
10. Easy exercise on grass in the shades of the hotel “Portes palace“ in Halkidiki
11. Water gymnastics at sea (aquabic)
Water gymnastics is one of the most attractive activities especially when it is
done in the sea (picture 11). The hotels that have pools organize this activity in
the pools. The guests have few possibilities to try this activity at home. On the
other hand the animators are there to entertain. There are two ways of inviting

the guests to join the activity. One is done in a quiet manner and the other is
loudly with a whistle. In a lot of hotels there is a big interest for this activity. It
is a challenge for the guests and for the animators. The results go to our benefit.
Even 61,3% adore this activity 21,3% like it a lot and 6,7% just like it. This puts
this activity on the top of the preferred activities, on the second place.
Tai chi is not very popular among the animators or among the clients. The
reason for this is probably because it is not favored in Mediterranean countries.
Tai chi is not preferred by 58,7% of animators and 18,7% prefer it less. This
puts it on the 40th place of our research.
A similar result has taebo. 49,3% animators do not prefer this activity and 16%
prefer it less.
Bowling, darts and table tennis are the activities that are on the top of the chart
of the preferred activities.
Mostly French people have some knowledge on bowling but also everyone else
can participate as it is easy to learn it and special equipment is not necessary.
The game is very dynamic and that is why the animators are pretty fond of the
game that takes 11th place on the chart 7.
Table tennis is on the 4th place of the chart of preferred activities and even 88%
of animators like this activity. Table tennis is very easy to set up. Everybody
loves to play it. It provides the opportunity to frequently organize tournaments.
