Atlantis The Palm, Dubai, Digital IQ

The Atlantis Palm




In the Atlantis Palm Hotel, in Dubai, their marketing department seems to be taking seriously the power of the tip of our fingers. If you look at their website, you'll find that they are present in all major social media communities
  , they boast about it, they have a very appealing Blog; they have made it very easy for a client to make a reservation, with a little fixed quick booking tab staying on your screen even during our crazy never ending scroll of the pages which certainly works, because you don't have to go back on pages to find the reservation place and you don't get your mind off it, because they thought of something clever to keep "make a reservation" always present in your mind...smart little people, ha?!

One other great idea I found, was the fact that you can find the hotel's magazine, you know those you find in your bedrooms in some hotels, that show the activities and all that is included in the hotel, its services, and you can download it on PDF and read it, even before you book your stay with them. If you read it and then book a room, you will know exactly what to expect and you will not be surprised when you get there.

They even give you their GDS codes...maybe I'll need a little help with this one...anyone?
