Survey commissioned by IHG Hotels & Resorts reveals what consumers value when they travel

Dubai [UAE], October 5 (ANI/PRNewswire):
today revealed the results of a survey commissioned to better understand how consumers like to enjoy their time as a hotel guest, encouraging guests to be themselves.
The company's new global campaign, Guest How You Guest, is a celebration of hotels and taking a break from having to do it all. The survey results revealed what guests from the region are looking for in a hotel experience, with the three most popular features of a hotel stay rated as room service at 54 per cent, facilities (pool, sauna, etc...) (52 per cent), and selection of food available (49 per cent). Meanwhile approximately 40 per cent of respondents enjoyed not having to clean up after themselves or having to cook for themselves.
The research showed that 22 per cent like to get changed for dinner to look their best, while 20 per cent are comfortable enough slouching in their pajamas and hotel slippers.
92 per cent of respondents felt they could be totally themselves when staying in a hotel, with 54 per cent feeling they are always relaxed during their stay. But 14 per cent worry that their kids may misbehave and cause disturbance to other guests.
Haitham Mattar, Managing Director India Middle East and Africa, IHG Hotels & Resorts commented: "The region's tourism and hospitality industry offers tremendous opportunities, and it is known to welcome diverse guests travelling for business and leisure. The needs, desires and preferences of our hotel guests are constantly evolving, and therefore it is fundamental for us to deliver what they're looking for the most -- a personalised, individualised experience."
