Business travellers give high-five to wi-fi

Saturday, 24 Jan, 2011 0

Business travellers have reaffirmed that free wi-fi tops their hotel services wish list.

The need for a free newspaper appears to be declining as business travellers opt to get their news online.

Results from an online survey by business travel specialist Corporate Traveller revealed that as hotel guests, business travellers consider wi-fi, breakfast and early check in and late check out, the top three services that should be included free of charge during their stay.

A total of 172 business travellers participated in Corporate Traveller’s survey which asked respondents to rank in order of importance which hotel amenities they thought should be provided for free.

Respondents ranked the hotel amenities or services in the following order of importance

1. Wi-Fi
2. Breakfast
3. Early check in and late check out
4. Parking
5. Access to corporate facilities
6. Newspapers

Corporate Traveller national marketing manager Chris Preston said that quite often corporate clients would factor in what kind of value-add services a hotel was offering when deciding which hotel to do business with.
