Marriott International Welcomes Pets at Hotels in Latin America
A Furry Welcome at Marriott International's Pet-Friendly Hotels
Marriott International is redefining hospitality by embracing furry companions in their hotels across Central and South America. As Dog Day approaches on July 21, a day dedicated to honoring our loyal pets, the trend of traveling with pets continues to grow. This shift is not just a fad; it's changing the landscape of the tourism industry in Latin America. According to studies by Hepper.com, a staggering 81% of pet owners would choose pet-friendly accommodations over traditional options. Furthermore, The Business Research Company reports that the global pet travel services market is experiencing a robust annual growth rate of 10.3%.
In light of this rising demand, Marriott has taken significant steps to ensure that its properties are not only accommodating to pets but also thoughtfully equipped with amenities that cater to their well-being. Pets are not only welcomed; they are treated to a range of services designed to enhance their comfort while traveling.
