Abstract

Because Radio Frequency Identification Technology (RFID) is an efficient system which is easily applicable nowadays, it has wide range of use and this use is increasing day by day. Hotels have become spaces that are visited by the people for various purposes such as relaxing, having holiday, enjoying the time and carrying out some organizations as well as accommodation. Hotels have different units in order to meet the varying requirements of the clients. This variety creates demand for other sectors and has considerable effect on the countries’ economy. Hotels that do not make any concessions from their qualities in compelling conditions of competition and wish to keep the bar high are faced with various problems during the process. In this study, a questionnaire was arranged as to textile products used in hotels, the problems experienced concerning product tracking were investigated and the results were assessed in SPSS program.
