This study aimed to explore hotel amenities and features to improve business travelers' overall health while reducing stress and creating a balanced and healthy interior space.
Americans spend over 1.33 trillion dollars on global business travel every year, yet most hotels are not designed or equipped to relieve the expected stresses of travelling. Research demonstrates that business travel typically raises stress levels, affecting physical and mental health (Statistica, 2017). Due to the pressures of travel and work, along with the travel frequency, business travellers often experience issues that impact their executive functioning, such as sleep deprivation, jet-lag, excessive alcohol consumption, high blood pressure, migraines, increased risk of cardiovascular disease, anxiety, and feelings of isolation (Chen, 2017).
