the TRAVEL: YouTUBE my Vacation


How many times have you went on a trip somewhere and couldn't even wait til you got back home to do a classic Mobile Upload via Facebook or Twitter? While YouTUBE is no FB or Twitter - it is our generation's way to video broadcast ourselves AND to put it simple, Marriott decided why not give this option to their guests.
Marriott International, a US based internationally known Hotel brand, has announced that their San Juan Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino property has introduced a 'You Tube Concierge'.
What does that mean to you? Now, when you visit this property, you can film a 30-second video all for the freeski! The video clip will be shot, formatted with a fab opening and closing, and uploaded to the 'San Juan Marriott Live' YouTube Channel, www.youtube.com/sanjuanmarriottlive, for guests to share.
It is so refreshing to see such a known brand, embracing the needs of their young clientale while enhancing the overall guest experience. YET, It almost seems like this feature is all too obvious OR even a tad behind its time? What do you think? .............Nevertheless, its innovative and we appreciate innovation however way it comes. Hopefully, other brands will jump on the bandwagon....
Love,
