Designing The Environment Of Eminence

Wi-Fi services across hotels in the world are very expensive, ranging from £0.78 per hour in Florida to £6.43 per hour in Venice. In Europe and UK specifically, the prices are so high that it has become a major nuisance for both business travellers and tourists. In an attempt to tackle this problem, Expedia.co.uk, the reputed travel website has asked hotels to reduce the price that travellers pay to access Wi-Fi services.

Alison Couper, Communications Director for Expedia believes that broadband wireless services during travel should be simple and cost effective. Such services help all kinds of people whether they are business travellers or on a holiday and have almost become critical now.

For cutting down on the travel budget in 2009, she suggests that one should drop one or two ratings for hotels, as most budget hotels offer cheap or at times free Wi-Fi. Expedia’s research also shows that hotels with a rating of four stars or less were the ones, which are likely to offer free Wi-Fi service.

Expedia has also advised travellers to check if the hotel they plan to stay in has a business centre or not. Hotels that have a business centre, mostly offer free Wi-Fi services to the customers, and they also have tariffs available that include Wi-Fi access.
