significantly lower prices. I think it's just a matter of time before everyone will be offering free service" .He said the cost of using the Internet in various hotel stands on an average of about $ 20 a day: "We have seen customers come not only with one device, but also with a laptop and with the iPad, which require them to use two codes of different surfing," said Yariv, "Web services are indeed substantial income for hotels, but for us to cancel the payment constitutes an excellent marketing tool against competitors.. Africa Israel Hotels chain, which is branded Crowne Plaza Network now includes seven hotels in the country: six in Haifa, Jerusalem, Tel Aviv (two), the Dead Sea and Eilat, under the Crowne Plaza brand, and one hotel, Ashkelon, under the brand Holiday Inn.
