According to recent surveys there are more than 43 million business travelers in the U.S., of which 70 percent carry laptops.** The expanded Wi-Fi service availability throughout the Hilton Family of Hotels will make connecting to the Internet easier than ever for this hi-tech group. The number of public areas and guest rooms being equipped with wireless service will continue to increase throughout the year.
