Survey Says Hotel Fitness Facilities Need to Shape Up

Why the focus on fitness? Ina survey* of 300 business travelers conducted by Lieberman Research Worldwide, 90% travelers surveyed exercise relives and 64% of the surveyed say that many hotel fitness rooms �seem like an afterthought,� and more than half the travelers (55%) decided not to use a hotel workout room because it was in such bad condition.

�Working out on the road is a priority for many travelers but hotels have typically cut corners in hotel workout rooms and we wanted to fix that,� said Akram Touma. �We want to improve our guests� lives so they feel better from check-in to check-out. Accomplishing that will build loyalty and clearly distinguish Westin from other hotels.� About Westin

Survey participants � 150 men and 150 women � had stayed at least two consecutive nights at a hotel in the past year and exercised while on a business trip.

The telephone interviewing was conducted during the period September 2 to 15, 2003. With a sample this size (n==300) results have a margin of error attributable to sample size of +/- 6 percentage points on totals. Smaller subgroups therefore have higher margins of error.
