Study reveals travelers prefer free Wi-Fi over free breakfast
MANILA, Philippines – Would you check in a hotel with free Wi-Fi rather than free breakfast?
In its recent Travel Smarts Survey, Agoda.com learned that slightly more travelers from around the world prefer to be offered free Wi-Fi over a stomach-filling breakfast.
In July 2015, over 5,000 Agoda.com customers from around the world were asked which amenities they want in hotel rooms. When asked what they’d rather have for free, 55 percent of travelers voted for Wi-Fi while 45 percent preferred breakfast.
"We know both are important to our customers," says John Brown, Agoda.com's chief operating officer. "Most hoteliers understand that, too, and the majority of the properties on Agoda.com offer room rates inclusive of Wi-Fi, breakfast or both,” he said.
Travelers also had a clear preference when it comes to spacious beds. When asked whether they’d prefer a bigger bed or a bigger bathroom, 75 percent picked a bigger bed.
Agoda.com is one of the world’s leading accommodation sites and part of Nasdaq-listed Priceline Group (Nasdaq:PCLN).
