Whether it be traveling for business or pleasure, the ability to connect to Wi-Fi for free is the most important priority for globetrotters.
In a polled carried out by online reservations site Hotels.com, 34 percent of respondents identified free Wi-Fi as the most important factor when choosing a hotel, trumping other perks like free breakfast, or free parking.
For business travelers, that figure spiked to 56 percent, who said the ability to connect was their number one priority.
Respondents spanned 28 countries from Australia, to Brazil, China, France, Hong Kong, Russia, India, and the US.
Only 11 percent of travelers around the world said they would be ‘happy’ to pay for Wi-Fi when staying in a hotel.
And among luxury properties, the favorite amenity is the high-end fitness center and spa, as well as designer toiletries.
