Intro
The next big revolution in hotels and apartments is right around the corner. As more and more customers demand air purified rooms, the hospitality trade will react or be left behind.
Accommodations will include standard rooms, non-smoking rooms, and pure air rooms. Pure air rooms will cater to the growing number of customers that have developed allergies or suffer from asthma related illnesses. A very high percentage of the population now suffer from these complications, so the market can no longer be ignored.
Benefits
Frank D. Gilliland, professor of preventive medicine at the Keck School of Medicine at the University of Southern California states, "Now, over fifty percent of the population in the U.S. has an allergy to something, and this is a major change. And we don't think it's the genes that have changed over the short period of time. It's the environment, and we think that now people are exposed to environmental agents that they weren't exposed to in the past."
Some hotels and builders are taking the initiative to supply environmentally friendly accommodations. They are fully aware of how families are willing to pay a little extra to protect their children from the alarming increases in asthma.
WCI Communities in Bonita Springs, Fla. recently began offering "green" houses that include both energy-saving and healthful features. So far, they've sold 224 units in their Venetian Golf & River Club in Venice, Fla., with an average price of $360,000. Those features include a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filtering system that removes 99.97% of airborne particles. The air-conditioning has ultraviolet lights in the ducts so that circulated air is treated to kill mold and mildew. The homes also have wool carpeting and floorings made of bamboo or cork as alternatives to traditional carpeting made from synthetics, which gives off noxious gases.

Even their front desk is made up of 100% recycled glass.
