Abstract
Disparity is occurring even in the hotel industry. Travelers are being put up in completely different beds: in expensive and economical beds, with a thickness of 60 cm or a thinness of 15 cm, in rooms with a dimension of 16, 36 or 350 m2. Travelers shower in extravagant marble bathrooms or in self-cleaning plastic sanitary booths. Luxury and budget hotels are repositioning. In addition, the newly aroused brand loyalty is eliminating the mainstream.
