Adventure Getaway in Your Hotel Room #VRoomService by +Marriott

+Marriott Hotels has introduced Virtual Reality postcards at their Marriott Marquis NYC and London Park Lane Hotels.

A quick review in Digital Buzz Blog
Customers ordering the in-room virtual reality experiences will receive a hand-delivered Samsung headset, with the experiences following three travellers on their personal adventures around the world from which the VR postcards have been created. Guests can travel with to the Andean Mountains in Chile, to an ice cream shop in Rwanda, right through to Beijing. Pretty cool.



Get full details and backstory at Travel Brilliantly - Marriott's co-creation innovation site.

Cool indeed!!

La carte du wifi gratuit à Toulouse

#WiFi gratuit a #Toulouse 

Après la place Saint-Pierre équipée en juillet, les lieux et bâtiments publics où l'on pourra gratuitement utiliser le wifi vont se multiplier à Toulouse l'an prochain.

Petit à petit, le wifi gratuit gagne du terrain dans la Ville rose. Au profit des habitants mais surtout des visiteurs et des touristes qui, via leur smartphone ou ordinateur, peuvent ainsi aisément accéder à l'internet. L'aéroport propose le haut débit depuis 2012. À la gare Matabiau, la SNCF s'y est mise au mois d'avril. La mairie, sous la précédente municipalité, avait ouvert un espace square de Gaulle, entre l'office de tourisme et la rue Lafayette, en 2012. Espace étendu à la place du Capitole fin 2013. Il suffit là, pour accéder au Web 24 heures sur 24, sept jours sur sept, d'aller sur le réseau.

Hotel Paradise Paris - connected, calm + casual

Fast, free WiFi then location are my hotel booking priorities. 

The Hotel Paradise Paris summer offer - a great rate including breakfast - made my hotel choice easy. The hotel is a little gem just down the street from the eclectic Chateau d'Eau area... offbeat neighborhood with lots spirited folks going from cafes to bars to restos.

What I especially liked:

  • WiFi fast, free - with easy access; no complicated codes
  • Chateau d'Eau - non-touristy; many cafes with free wifi
  • Hotel guestroom was design style with thoughtful touches - water, 'green' bathroom amenities
  • Each staff member was smiling, genuinely friendly + nicely polite
Hotel Room - Light, airy with a pleasant surprise A/C

Lots of funky spots to choose from 5 minute walk from the hotel.
Hotel Paradise Paris uses their social media to share playlists ... clearly this hotelier is 'connected' + understand how to create a cool vibe.

A nice discovery - all around.

Writing a Business Plan

Are you an entrepreneur?

Many potential start-up businesses are daunted by the prospect of writing a business plan. But it is not a difficult process - and a good business plan focuses the mind as well as helping to secure finance and support.

The business plan will clarify your business idea and define your long-term objectives. It provides a blueprint for running the business and a series of benchmarks to check your progress against. It is also vital for convincing your bank - and possibly key customers and suppliers - to support you.

How should I structure my business plan?
