The Protea Hospitality Group has introduced 500Mb of free WiFi per room per day, up from the current 100Mb, in all its hotels across Africa.
This will not only improve the guest experience but also be invaluable to business travellers attending conferences and who might be away from the office for days at a time, says Danny Bryer, Director of Sales, Marketing and Revenue for the Protea Hospitality Group.
“For the second year in a row, global traveller surveys have said the same thing – travellers will book or turn down a hotel on the basis of whether the property offers free WiFi. It’s no longer just a factor in their decision-making, it’s the decision-maker,” he says.
Danny adds that MICE travellers in particular need the increased free WiFi bandwidth because most spend their evenings catching up on the work that has accumulated while they’ve been conferencing.
