Often the eco-friendly choice for personal care products compromises the guests’ perception of luxury and value.<BR/>Not to mention that dispensers are made from plastic, and so are the gallons holding the liquids to refill them. These plastic containers will sit and continue to contaminate landfills with the rest of the non-degrading plastic items, polluting the Earth for hundreds, maybe even thousands of years.<BR/><BR/>The process of refilling dispensers is also time consuming and messy. Guests may perceive dispensers negatively because: 1) They don’t know who used the dispenser beforehand, and 2) Dispensers are found in public restrooms, which may be unclean. On the other hand, miniature amenities can: 1) Provide the “pampering effect” guests are accustomed to at a luxury resort, 2) Guests like to take amenities home as a reminder of their stay or as a gift to loved ones, and 3) When customized, personal care amenities become advertising vehicles for the hotel.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
