Personally I don’t see how RFIDs are profitable for hotels. Yes the cost of cotton & towels is on the rise, and hotels spend thousands each year on towels. But I'd like to know how the RFIDs are actually used by hotels and how they saved that hotel over $15,000. I just can’t see hotels tracking down people to get ahttp://www.nathosp.com/prod_detail_list/hotel_towels">towel> back.  I work for a hotel supplier and the cost of a towel doesn't seem high enough to make RFIDs profitable. Perhaps hotels who are worried about theft could just state they have RFID tags - but not actually use them - most people wouldn't be able to tell the difference. The goal is to reduce theft, and if people believe there are RFIDs then they may pass next time they consider stealing a towel.
