Australia: Quest Apartment Hotels is making select rooms at 30 properties equipped to cater to travellers with pets.
The locations include Sydney, Melbourne, Gold Coast, Perth and more. Quest says the campaign responds to a surge in pet ownership, with an estimated 30.4 million pets across the country. Nationally, 69 per cent of Australian households now own a pet, up from 61 per cent in 2019.
Quest’s chief marketing officer, Jeff Baars said: “Over the past 18 months there’s been clear and consistent increase in demand for pet friendly accommodation. Our mission at Quest is to make the guest experience effortless, so we have taken these insights on board, listened to our customers and are rolling out the Paw-fect Travellers offering at 30 locations nationally, with even more hotels set to jump on board over the coming months.”
“The primary reason people own a pet is companionship, and what we also know from listening to customers is that travel can sometimes be a little lonely, particularly for corporates who spend a lot of time on the road, so we hope the offering will make our guests feel even more comfortable and connected when they’re with us,” he aded.
Quest’s purpose-fit pet friendly rooms will come equipped with pet beds, food and water bowls, toys and “other essentials to make the VIPs feel right at home”.
