MADRID – Undoubtedly you also do it when you stay in a hotel, pack your shampoo, shower gel, soap, toothbrush, shoe shine, slipper and take it home. But do you know what the inhabitants of Spain bring with them the most? The Kayak website conducted a survey of popular services (artículos de cortesía).
Hotels provide their guests with items called amenities that they can use during their stay. Some are freely available for guests to take home, but some are not. In the first case, these are gel and shampoo bottles, personal hygiene items and slippers. In the second case, these are, for example, towels, bathrobes, coffee pods, batteries for remote controls and other items that cannot be taken with you.
According to a study by the website Kayak, more than half of Hispanic travelers say they have taken items home with them at least once (67%). About half of respondents admit to taking items from their accommodation, such as bottles of shampoo and conditioner (47%) or slippers (19%).
However, there are some items that are present in the hotel room for the enjoyment of guests but must be left in the hotel room as they belong to the hotel. Nearly two out of ten guests (17%) brought their own towels and about 6% admit they brought their glasses. Few, on the other hand, admit to carrying cutlery and hangers (5%), decorative objects (4%) or even piles of remote controls (3%).
The ten most popular items that Spanish tourists take home after their hotel stay are: shampoo or conditioner (47%), slippers (19%), towels (17%), personal hygiene items (15%), coffee capsules (9%), bathrobes (7%), glasses (6%), hangers (5%), cutlery (5%) and decorative items (4%).
Bringing hotel items like shampoo or body wash can often be an opportunity to extend the vacation feeling. It can also help reduce unnecessary waste, as these leftover items are often thrown away for hygienic reasons.
This is the ranking of the ten countries with the percentage of travelers who bring more items from a hotel. This list is led by the United States (75%), followed by Australia (73%), Canada (70%), Spain (67%), United Kingdom (67%), France (67%), Sweden (65%). , Austria (62%), Denmark (60%) and Germany (56%).
