The hospitality players worldwide are tailoring their offerings to provide hotel guests with familiar comforts by outfitting guest rooms with textiles products made of natural fibers, such as bedding, curtains, towels, bathrobes, etc. Due to the continued strong demand in cotton-rich fabrics in this segment and to capture this market, COTTON USA is introducing our hotel collection to potential partners and licensees in the hospitality industry. Hotel partners can benefit by specifying and highlighting their use of U.S. cotton-rich products so that in turn their guests can enjoy the safe and comfortable feeling of "Travel in Comfort with The Cotton The World Trusts" when staying at a hotel.
