THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A CAPTIVE AUDIENCE IN TODAY’S MARKETPLACE. THE INTERNET, SMARTPHONES AND APPS MEAN THAT, AS PUBLISHERS WE MUST ENTERTAIN, INFORM AND EARN READER’S ATTENTION.

THERE IS NO OTHER MAGAZINE AVAILABLE THAT CAN PLACE YOUR BUSINESS DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF HOTEL GUESTS AND THEN BE REINFORCED BY THE DIALOGUE OF THAT HOTELS VERY OWN CONCIERGE.

PUBLISHED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE CONCIERGE TEAM AND WITH THEIR HOTEL GUEST IN MIND, THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO CREATE A PARTNERSHIP THAT GOES BEYOND WHAT HAS BEEN AVAILABLE BEFORE.
