Travel Secrets
The first ''Twitter Hotel'' has opened its doors in Mallorca!
The social media have entered our lives for good and apparently they have made their impact on the tourism sector too. Based on this fact, the firm Sol Wave House created the first twitter-themed hotel which is located at the beach of Magaluf in beautiful Mallorca.
Guests of the hotel are able to communicate with each other through a specially designed application and are capable of seeing who is on line, send personal messages or direct messages (dm). Who would have ever thought that the refill of the mini-bar in our room could be possible through a tweet? Or, that you could send a champagne to the lady at the sun bed across yours just by using your smartphone? All you need to know is the hashtag of her sun bed!...# BaliBed1, 2 etc.
The hotel also presents guests with some thematic twitter rooms and a virtual community #SocialWave which allows you to communicate with others staying at the hotel, flirt with them, treat your neighbor with a meal or even order and send flowers to any room.
One would think that this is, in fact, a simple trend of our times…and possibly they would be right. It is not an overstatement that for some fans of the social media it is an integral part of their everyday life to share a post on Instagram of the drink they are drinking or to check-in their location on their Facebook timeline. For others among us who are more traditional, direct human contact is more significant and all of the above could even be considered as a “bad dream”...
