As an added incentive to the hospitality industry， COTTON USA will also introduce its new hotel and travel initiative that connects COTTON USA licensed manufacturers with the hotel sector to provide U.S. cotton-rich bedding and towels. This new COTTON USA initiative allows hotel partners to specify and highlight their use of U.S. cotton-rich products so that， in turn， their guests can enjoy the safe and comfortable feeling of “home away from home” when staying at a hotel.

For four days， the COTTON USA pavilion at Heimtextil will serve as an international meeting point for the entire cotton trade， including merchants， mills， manufacturers， brands， retailers and the press.
