Staff in the hotel industry have been named the ‘most adulterous’, according to new research from Illicit Encounters – a dating website for married people.
The survey of 1,000 people found hotel staff – which includes receptionists, room attendants, waiters and managers – topped the table with 14% of the vote.
Of the 14%, 10% went as far as sleeping with a colleague in a hotel room, while 3% of people even admitted to having sex with someone in the hotel pool. A further 7% said they had slept with a client and 70% said they had flirted with one.
A spokesperson for the dating site said working in a hotel might be the only job that affords the “absolutely perfect” opportunity to cheat with a colleague.
“There aren’t too many jobs out there that offer up a plethora of private bedrooms within touching distance. And if someone happens to catch you leaving this room, well, you can just say you were doing your job, and as [long as you] look cool, calm and collected, your alibi sticks,” the spokesperson said.
