HotelsMag has come up with 10 Internet Marketing Resolutions for 2010 including social media ones. Interesting to juxtapose them against the reality of our booking with Discover Australia and staying at the York Fairmont in the Blue Mountains.
Aaah Holidays. Who’d ‘ave ‘em eh? Just had a rather crappy experience with Discover Australia – they advertised “Free Internet -Exclusive” for the hotel we wanted to stay in, then after we booked (we sent a confirmation email with a question on the internet) said “Oh it’s just a FREE 1/2 HOUR”.
Discover Australia note free internet access claim
I reported them to the ACCC – remember “free”mobile phone fiasco and resultant fines? – but I bet nothing will come of it. Next time I will book direct with the hotel and check FIRST that what they advertise “free internet” doesn’t come with such ridiculous marketing spin.
