  Well, Google has started the season of giving by providing free Wi-Fi on all Virgin America flights until January 15th. Yesterday, Google announced they are extending the gift of free Wi-Fi to 47 airports throughout America. Good work Google, when is it coming to Australia?

This isn’t a sustainable situation, and it’s leading to all kinds of problems. Luckily, some change appears to be on the horizon. At a Hospitality Discussion event in September 2024, Travel Market Life gathered over 20 hoteliers and industry experts…

     Most hotels and resorts in Australia have not adopted social media. Social media is not going away, it is not something you can forget about and hope it passes by quietly. Social media is not a fad, its a trend, a game changer that needs to be adopted. Your Customers are already social! Your customers are already there. Your customers are already engaging with their friends, family and peers. Your customers, both potential and past, are turning to social media to make buying decisions.

That’s 1 book a week starting this January 2010.My experience with Amazon and the Kindle was second to none. The Kindle arrived from the US 4 days after my purchase. The Kindle came pre-registered with my Amazon account information so there was no need…
