Dog Friendly Hotels Find A Niche Market
Knoxville, TN - April 19, 2007 - According to a recent survey, 63%
of respondents stated that they would extend their hotel stay if
they could bring their pet. Instead of spending the money on
expensive boarding or kennel facilities, pet parents now prefer to
just take Fido along and use the money saved to extend their
vacation. 47% of respondents say they travel with dogs over 40
pounds and 78% stay at designated dog friendly hotels,
pet-friendly hotels or pet friendly lodging at least once a year.
With these numbers in mind, many hoteliers are revising their
previous weight restrictions and ultimately increasing their
bottom line.
DogFriendlyDirectory.com, a leading pet friendly lodging resource
for travelers caters specifically to those traveling with dogs. On
the Web site travelers can find dog friendly hotels and lodging by
city or state and there are clear icons denoting whether or not
the property will accept dogs over forty pounds.
"Anyone with a big dog knows how hard
it is to find a pet friendly place to stay that doesn't just allow
your dog, but actually welcomes your dog. We're trying to simplify
things," states Dog Friendly Directory Spokesperson, Steven Davis.
