The most requested amenity by leisure travelers at hotels is not a heated pool, free breakfast, or even a minibar. It’s free Wi-Fi, according to Hotels.com, and it could be a symptom related to Americans’ inability to unplug.
While vacations are supposed to be the time to get away from the office and relax, 68% of Americans are unable to do so, checking personal and work email at least once a day, according to a study by Intel Security. Less than half abstain from checking work emails while on vacation, even though 65% of people who do so say their vacation was more enjoyable.
