Expectations when booking a hotel are different depending on budget, preferences and type of structure chosen. Each of us has a different idea of the services that cannot be missing for a perfect holiday. An idea that probably differs from what our expectations were in the pre-Covid-19 era. American travelers, for example, want in-room bathtubs, free breakfast and family-friendly amenities, while they care less about free Wi-Fi and business spaces. A recent report from Hotels.com analyzed how different search patterns and traveler preferences have changed over the course of the pandemic. In particular, the research focused on search data on Hotels.com sites and apps in the United States from January 1 to February 7, 2022 , compared with data collected in the same period in 2019, 2020 and 2021. Interesting trends emerge , valuable for intercepting the needs of American travelers who are returning to our country.
Services for families, transfers and UAE Phone Number free breakfast In 2022 we will see the great return of family travel, with consequent interest in services related to family ménage: the availability of cots (+65%), child care (+45%) and connecting rooms (+20%) . And families are increasingly fond of their 4-legged friends: the search for pet-friendly accommodation is increasing by 35%. Another relevant element for the American market is the presence of the bathtub . It is one of the most searched for hotel services in the months of peak contagion and this year searches have increased by 25% compared to 2019. The very long months of lock-down and restrictions have put a strain on travellers, who now want to pamper themselves in wellness centres. The search for hotels with spas has in fact grown by 35%. During the pandemic, many of us learned to cook or became passionate about good food.
This habit is reaping its fruits now: the presence of a kitchen weighs on the choice of a living room, qualifying as the second most sought after service in 2021 and remaining important in 2022, with an increase of 15% on an annual basis. The priority of a delicious good morning is linked to this data: interest in hotels with free breakfast has grown by 75% this year. In 2021, again in the wake of social distancing, car travel has seen a new lease of life, especially in the United States. This trend is expected to remain constant in 2022, so free parking remains a fundamental service for many (+70%). If in the last two years many airline routes have been blocked, today we are returning to the skies . Here the need re-emerges for travellers, to reach their hotel and save on the journey. The numbers, in this sense, don't lie: the search for accommodation facilities that offer free transfers to/from the airport has doubled compared to a year ago (+ 105%). In 2020, gyms saw a significant decline in popularity, mainly due to the health and hygiene regulations imposed by the pandemic, which caused a prolonged closure. Today, travelers are once again keen to take care of themselves , frequently seeking out facilities with an internal fitness area (+65%).
