Hotel broadband on fast track
Two-thirds of North American hotels now offer broadband services.
It now represents two-third of the total properties worldwide, says In-Stat.
Said In-Stat analyst Amy Craven:
“Growth in the next few years will focus on two and three-star properties in North America, as well as increased deployment in Europe and Asia Pacific.”
She predicts broadband hotels will more than triple, growing from 14,300 properties in 2004 to nearly 54,000 properties in 2009.
Internet connectivity has rapidly become a “carte blanche” amenity, says the “2004 Lodging Survey” done by the American Hotel & Lodging Association.
The percentage of hotels offering high-speed internet connections in guest rooms jumped from 23% in 2001 to 50% last year. In higher priced rooms, the percentage is even higher.
