社会｜犬と泊まれるホテルの増加理由 / Society | Reasons for the Increase in Hotels That Allow Dogs

Summary

In recent years, the increase in hotels that allow dogs is attributed to the expansion of “pet tourism.”

Luxury hotels and resorts are responding to the needs of pet owners by offering dog-friendly rooms and activities that can be enjoyed with their pets. This trend is particularly influenced by the rising pet ownership rates among those in their 20s and 30s, along with a growing recognition of dogs as family members. As a result, the travel industry is providing more options for pet-friendly travel, allowing more families to enjoy vacations with their dogs.

Admin’s Note

I believe the increase in hotels that allow dogs reflects modern values that treat pets as part of the family. It’s wonderful that, especially when traveling, the growing options for spending time with our beloved dogs can enhance the peace of mind and enjoyment for pet owners. I hope to see more pet-friendly services in the future. The travel industry is expected to grow further by meeting diverse needs.
