The survey analyzed hotel in-room amenity preferences of business and leisure travelers. For both groups, Wi-Fi and coffee makers were the top 3 most important amenities. Business travelers' third was a safe, while leisure travelers' was bottled water. The amenities with the highest mean importance ratings were Wi-Fi, coffee makers, and refrigerators. Fees for amenities ranged from $0 to $16 or more, with most business travelers willing to pay more than leisure travelers. The target markets identified were females ages 25-34 with a college degree traveling for business.
2012 Online User Behavior and Engagement Study - Harris InteractiveHemant Charya
More than seven in 10 US tablet owners ages 18 to 34, and more than eight in 10 tablet owners ages 35 to 44, looked up product information on their devices after seeing something interesting about it on TV. The behavior was significantly less common among older tablet owners (and, in addition, older consumers are already less likely to own tablets), but still, more than half of those 45 and older did the same.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

Editor's Notes
Business and leisure travelers who regularly stay in hotels make conscious decisions as to which hotels they will stay in (Vuthipongse, 2011). These decisions are usually based upon past experiences, recommendations, advertising, and hotel characteristics (Vuthipongse, 2011). Hotel characteristics are generally recognized as amenities. Amenities are the extra items, facilities, and services made available to guests that are not included in the basic accommodations of a hotel room (Griffin, Shea & Weaver, 1996, p.65). To meet the desired needs of hotel guest, and to choose the best target markets, a Hotel in-Room Amenities Survey that included ten questions was created and eighty-two respondents completed the survey. The survey scores were recorded and analyzed in the following report.
82% of survey respondents’ spent nights in a hotel for leisure purposes and 60% for business purposes. 32% of the business and 45% of the leisure travelers stayed a either 3-5 or 6-10 nights in a hotel. While the number of business travelers surveyed is smaller than the number of leisure travelers surveyed it is interesting to note that 1% more of the hotels stays greater than 16 times a year is made by business travelers.Thirty four percent of the survey respondents consider in-room amenities to be significant and very important when making a hotel reservation. Twenty six percent rated the importance of in-room amenities with a four which is important. This clearly shows that someone staying in a hotel is likely to choose which hotel to stay in based on the in-room amenities available.
Wi-Fi received the highest mean score, followed closely by the refrigerator.The lowest variance is luxurious bath towels, with a standard deviation of 1.73, and the highest is premium cable with a standard deviation of 2.89. Target markets can focus on items with the greatest variance to attract the largest number of customers (Winer & Dhar, 2011).
Survey respondent’s scores showed that 26% of business travelers and 30% of leisure travelers would pay $1-$5 dollars for their preferred hotel in-room amenity. 23% of business travelers and 15% of leisure travelers would be willing to pay $6-$10 for their preferred amenity; 24% of business travelers and 32% of leisure travelers said they would be willing to pay $0.
Analysis Commentary:Almost 2/3 of respondents who stay in hotels for leisure and business are female,have a university degrees and state that Wi-Fi is a necessary in-room amenity for them to stay in a hotel.
Our team chose to target females with a college degree because the majority of respondents to our survey were female with masters or bachelor’s degrees. They travel frequently and stay in hotel rooms for both leisure and business purposes. This group of respondents chose Wi-Fi as their number one important amenity.These tech-savvy, business professionals will most likely travel for a lot the future. If traveling for business they are most likely to be established in their careers and if traveling for leisure they are most likely traveling with family. Either scenario leads to the conclusion that they will be traveling and staying many more nights in hotels in the future (lifetime value). Providing this target market with the desiredtop in-room amenities will meet customer needs and prove to be profitable for the hotels. We chose this target market due to demographics, lifestyle, lifetime values and attitude towards technology (Winer & Dhar, 2011).25-34 Year Olds Traveling for BusinessOur team chose to target 25-34 year olds traveling for business because this group frequently and stay in hotels for both leisure and business purposes. This target market was chosen based upon demographics (gender and age), technological savvy (generation x), lifestyle (business hotel stays), and lifetime value (young enough to work for many more years). Providing thetop preferred in-room amenities for these business travelers will be profitable to the hotel. Thistarget market of 25-34 year old travelers are tech-savvy and educated (majority have bachelor’s degrees), they are the next affluent generation with future spending power (Winer & Dhar, 2011). I
