Hong Kongers are world's 4th most honest hotel guests: survey

Check out the target items of sticky-fingered global travelers.

According to the latest survey from Hotels.com, Hong Kong travellers top Asia Pacific Countries as most honest hotel guests grabbing 4th spot in the guests honesty survey. It shared the 4th slot with Brazil and Canada recording lines/towels as the most commonly taken items.

The results showed 35% of global hotel guests admit to pocketing room amenities.

While globally 65 per cent say they’ve never taken an item from a hotel room (excluding toiletries) it is the Danish travellers that come out on top as exceptionally honest, with 88 per cent saying they’ve never pocketed anything they shouldn’t from a hotel room. Hong Kong ranked 4th in honesty with 81 per cent of visitors that have not pocketed anything they shouldn’t from a hotel property.

While it is in-room magazines, books, linens and towels that seem to be the main focus for sticky fingered travellers, other items that those surveyed admitted to taking include the bathrobe, pillows, electronics, irons and even in-room furniture such as lamps or alarm clocks.

Alison Couper, Senior Director Global Communications, Hotels.com said "While we all love that holiday feeling, it seems travellers in some countries are taking this a bit too far by removing a wide variety of items from their hotel room to take home with them as a memento of their stay."
