This trend has been fuelled by an increased awareness of the importance of health and wellness, as well as a desire to maintain healthy habits while traveling.

Some of the ways in which hotels are catering to health-conscious guests include:

• Healthy food options: Many hotels are offering healthier food options, such as organic, locally sourced, and plant-based options, and are also accommodating special dietary requirements.
• Fitness facilities: Hotels are increasingly offering fitness facilities, such as gyms, yoga studios, or running trails, to enable guests to maintain their exercise routines.
• Wellness amenities: Hotels are providing wellness amenities, such as spa services, meditation sessions, or wellness retreats, to help guests relax and rejuvenate.
• Cleanliness and safety measures: In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, hotels are implementing enhanced cleanliness and safety measures to ensure the health and safety of their guests.
• Sustainability practices: Hotels are incorporating sustainability practices, such as green cleaning, energy efficiency, using biodegradable products, segregating E-waste and waste reduction, which align with health-conscious lifestyles.

Overall, the health-conscious trend among hotel guests is likely to continue, and hotels that cater to this trend are likely to see increased guest satisfaction and loyalty.
