their 125 hotels around the globe. A first-ever
all brand-inclusive initiative, guests at any of
the Taj Group of hotels – The Taj, Vivanta by
Taj, Gateway Hotels and Ginger will now be able
to enjoy free Wi-Fi connectivity for the
duration of their stay on up to 3 devices as
soon as they check-in to the hotel.
Complimentary Wi-Fi access which will be
available for all in-house guests will be ideal
for checking e-mails, social-networking and
general web browsing at an efficient speed.
Guests who require higher bandwidths can
instantly upgrade to the Premium tier and also
connect additional devices at specially designed
tariffs.
According to global research undertaken by
SmartBrief, 85 percent travellers wanted free
Wi-Fi in hotels and 38 percent stated that Wi-Fi
was a key factor while selecting a hotel.
Interestingly, 45 percent guests travel with two
devices whereas 40 percent travel with three or
more. Another study by global hotel consultancy
– HVS reveals that the new-age traveller needs
to feel 'at home' and 'stay connected'.
Furthermore, the millennial generation is
increasingly interested in instant storytelling
of memorable experiences. Therefore, in order to
keep pace with this rapidly changing lifestyle,
free Internet access has become essential. |
