Hospitality (We as a Host Care for your Health)

Hospitality is now not limited to serving you food or providing stay but nowadays this sector is much concerned about the health and physical fitness of their guests and customers. Most of the hospitality brands started to provide in room fitness equipment and they also started to add some food items or dishes in their menu which are rich in nutritional value. In the year 2004 only 63 % hotels were having exercise or fitness rooms but this figure went up to 85 % in year 2016. This incline shows that they really care for the health of the people to whom they are serving.

• Private Fitness Equipment in Guest Rooms

• Exercise Before you Fly

Nowadays some of the international airports introduced gyms so the travelers can do their regular exercise practices. So if you are fond of travelling and exercise this facility is best suit for you as you can go to gym before taking your flight and you do not have to skip your exercise. Good Life Fitness at Toronto Pearson International Airport and Roam Fitness at Washington International Airport are best examples of this.
