Third March is World Book Day and to celebrate we’ve compiled a list of the best travel and hotel experiences in the UK for book lovers.

Malavika Kumar said that the UK has produced some of the “most celebrated literary figures throughout history” and has long been “one of the top literary destinations in the world”. William Shakespeare, Charles Dickens, Arthur Conan Doyle and Jane Austen are just a few of the literary giants who have entertained generations of readers.

From the Harry Potter 9¾ platform at King’s Cross station to hotels with libraries, these are the places to mark for your next literary journey.

Harry Potter’s Platform 9¾ at King’s Cross StationOne of the UK’s most popular literary destinations is Harry Potter’s Platform 9¾ at London’s King’s Cross station, Kumar said. However, platform 9¾ marks the “secret platform of the Hogwarts Express” and is not located between platforms nine and ten, but in the west departures hall. “A luggage cart, complete with a suitcase and a cage full of owls, protrudes from the wall as fans line up for the perfect photo.”

Edinburgh: a city of literatureIn 2004, Edinburgh was named the world’s first UNESCO City of Literature. The Scottish capital is the birthplace and homeland of world-renowned novelists, poets and playwrights, Arthur Conan Doyle (Sherlock Holmes), Ian Rankin (Inspector Rebus), Irvine Welsh (Trainspotting) and Val McDermid (Kate Brannigan).

Edinburgh has over 50 bookshops and the National Library of Scotland is home to over 24 million printed matter. Literature lovers should also visit the Scottish Poetry Library and the Scottish Center for Storytelling.

‘Explore & Snore’ package in the birthplace of ShakespeareStratford-upon-Avon, the birthplace of William Shakespeare, is rich in culture and history and celebrates the great playwright. Visitors can catch a performance at the  Royal Shakespeare Theatre or explore Shakespeare’s Schoolroom & Guildhall.

Boutique Hotel Indigo Stratford-upon-Avon has partnered with Shakespeare’s England to offer an ‘Explore & Snore’ package which includes a one or two night stay and access to all the attractions of the historic market town via the ‘Explorer Pass’.

This handy ticket lets visitors experience the unspoilt beauty, ancient castles and legendary stories that Stratford-upon-Avon has to offer and includes entry to 17 Warwickshire attractions. Attractions include the five Shakespeare family homes: Shakespeare’s Birthplace, Shakespeare’s New Place, Hall’s Croft, Anne Hathaway’s Cottage and Mary Arden’s Farm. Prices start from £195 based on two people sharing bed and breakfast.

Penzance and The Edge of the World BookshopThe Cornish port of Penzance is steeped in literary history, with many famous people having strong roots there. Maria Branwell, mother of the famous Brontë sisters, was born in Penzance in 1783 before moving to Yorkshire, while the famous poet Alfred Tennyson vacationed in Penzance before sailing to the Isles of Scilly with fellow writer Francis Turner Palgrave. Welsh poet and writer Dylan Thomas was also familiar with the Cornish town and married Caitlin Macnamara at the Penzance Registry Office in 1937.

An ideal destination for book lovers and home to an annual literary festival, Penzance continues to attract bibliophiles from Cornwall and beyond. The aptly named Edge of the World bookshop is Penzance’s first independent bookshop, offering a selection of classic, whimsical and local Cornish titles of all genres.

The British LibraryDo a quick Google search and you’ll find page after page of London’s literary attractions and tours. However, when deciding on a place to visit, take the time to visit the British Library at St Pancras.

The UK National Library houses more than 170 million collectibles, from Magna Carta and Jane Austen notebooks to handwritten lyrics by the Beatles. Treasures of the British Library is free to visitors and tells remarkable stories spanning more than 2,000 years of human experience. There are also a number of free and paid events and exhibitions for visitors.

Gladstone’s LibraryThe only ‘living library’ in the UK, the Gladstone Library comprises 26 rooms, an on-site restaurant, reading rooms, a lounge and a collection of over 150,000 objects. Daniella Saunders in Country & Town House said It’s a “bibliophile’s dream” and a great place for those who don’t want to leave the library after the lights go out. All rooms have a private bathroom, free Wi-Fi, tea and coffee making facilities, a hairdryer and a radio. However, there are no televisions in the rooms to maintain the spirit of study and reflection.

Literary inspired weekends in EnglandAccording to the VisitEngland tourist board, England’s literary landscapes and places are as diverse as the writers who produced them. From organized hiking trails to self-guided literary tours, opportunities for inspiration exist across the country.

Enjoy splendiferous fun at the Roald Dahl Museum in Great Missenden, Buckinghamshire, walk in Jane Austen’s footsteps in Bath, discover Charles Dickens’s Broadstairs in Kent, or explore the beautiful house and surroundings that inspired Bronte to write classic novels.

Hotels with libraries
Red Online asks iIs there “anything better than getting away with a good book? Perhaps a thing to escape from a hotel with a library.

One of the best places for “retreat-seeking book lovers” is the Library Suite at the five-star Connaught Hotel in London. Designed by architect Michael Blair, the suite is on two levels and features a master bedroom, a second bedroom, a sitting area, and shelves filled with a variety of books. It’s “pure luck”.

The Standard Hotel in London, which once housed the Camden Town Hall library, has its own library lounge and resident librarian, Country & Town House said. “This is no ordinary hotel library, the titles have been grouped into a series of alternative and whimsical categories.”

If you like to read a book over a drink, visit the Library Bar at Stanbrook Abbey in Worcester. “Composed of comfy mismatched chairs, an antique piano, and of course plenty of books, this cozy library lends itself to the traditional charm of a 16th-century home.”

Online travel marketplace Wego, operated by Wego Pvt Ltd, has signed a definitive agreement with the Flipkart Group to buy the Middle East business of its online travel portal Cleartrip. As part of the transaction, Wego will also buy Flyin.com, a company acquired by Cleartrip in 2018. In addition, Flipkart and Wego have signed a technology cooperation agreement, the companies said.

Last year in April, Flipkart announced a proposed acquisition of Cleartrip to diversify its offerings. Both companies’ boards of directors have approved the transaction, financial details of which were not disclosed, the transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2022.

Cleartrip grew organically in the Middle East region in 2010 and later acquired Riyadh-based Flyin.com, which led to the company starting operations in Saudi Arabia, the company said, adding that Wego and Cleartrip had their regional headquarters in Dubai Internet City.

Cleartrip was founded in 2006 by Crighton, Hrush Bhatt and Matthew Spacie who is no longer with the company. It provides a platform for booking hotels, flights and trains. In 2016, it launched Cleartrip Local, a platform offering curated activities and experiences.

Wego, meanwhile, claims to operate the largest online travel market in the Middle East and North Africa. The Company provides a platform for travel search websites through mobile applications. The company uses technology to automate the process of finding, comparing and booking travel between airlines, hotel chains and online travel agencies. The company is also headquartered in Singapore and is sponsored by Tiger Global Management, Crescent Point, Square Peg Capital, Middle East Venture Partners and MBC Group.

Ross Veitch, CEO and co-founder of Wego, said the Middle East will be one of the most exciting growth stories of the next decade, with travel and technology taking center stage and the Wego Group playing a crucial role. This acquisition will significantly increase our size and capabilities and strengthen our ability to partner and collaborate in our region.

Flipkart’s sale of Cleartrip’s Middle East operations comes at a time when pandemic-related travel lockdowns and restrictions have crippled global travel demand for the past two years. Flipkart previously formed partnerships with other travel portals such as MakeMyTrip and Ixigo.

Countries around the world are imposing domestic and international travel restrictions to slow the spread of the contagious coronavirus disease. India has yet to open its international borders to tourists and domestically. Flights are still underutilized due to tight restrictions imposed by local governments on passenger travel.

Flipkart Senior Vice President and Chief Business Development Officer Ravi Iyer said that given their strategic priorities and focus on the Indian market, Wego is ensuring their business continuity by acquiring Cleartrip’s business in India and Middle East. They believe they are the right partners to drive your next phase of growth.

India’s travel, tourism and hospitality industry has opened its recruitment funnel as falling Covid infections and easing restrictions lead to a recovery in holiday travel bookings as well as an increase in travel business.

Travel agencies and online portals such as Thomas Cook and EaseMyTrip recruit employees in all functions. Large hotel chains such as ITC-supported Fortune Hotels, Lemon Tree Hotels and Royal Orchid Hotels are also hiring.

The demand for labor comes amid a resumption of travel plans as more people receive the double vaccine, surges in economic activity and amid massive pent-up demand after many had to put their travel plans on hold due to the rapid spread of the Omicron wave in January. Several wedding celebrations, which have been postponed due to the third wave, are also planned for the coming months, which will lead to increased hotel occupancy, senior company officials said.

Much of the hiring is focused on expanding product and technology categories, while others are aimed at filling outlets. The revival in recruitment in the travel and tourism industry comes after the loss of millions of jobs and the huge loss of income during the first and second waves of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Lemon Tree Hotels, which had to lay off several employees at the end of the second wave, plans to hire about 1,500 employees for the rest of the year by opening 20 nearby hotels and adding workers to existing hotels, said Keswani, President and CEO. In the third fiscal quarter, the hotel chain had hired 1,500 workers when travel resumed after the second wave.

Royal Orchid and Regenta Hotels will hire 1,000 people as they expand into new markets and cities, adding 100 hotels to their portfolio by 2022. Royal Orchid and Regenta Hotels Chairman and CEO Chander K. Baljee said they have stepped up recruitment efforts across the group, from entry-level to senior positions.
Travel agencies are also increasing their workforce. Thomas Cook (India) and SOTC Human Resources Chair Mona Cheriyan said as the organization sees increased travel and potential for accelerated growth as airspace and borders open up, the organization will align its contracts with the growth.

CEO and Co-Founder Nishant Pitti said, EaseMyTripEaseMyTrip plans to double its workforce by the end of next fiscal year. There were a lot of acquisition announcements they made last quarter. This year, they plan to launch a localized travel search engine in each of their six global offices. They expect another V-shaped recovery in the sector from this month, and here are some of the main reasons why they are looking to double their workforce.

Economists and senior company officials said the expansion of the Emergency Credit Line Guarantee Scheme (ECLGS) in the union’s latest budget of Rs 50,000, with the additional allowance for hospitality alone, will have a multiplier effect on job creation.

Bank of Baroda Chief Economist Madan Sabnavis said the Rs 50 billion budget allocation for hospitality and related businesses sends a positive signal to the sector that the worst is over. This will stimulate the expansion of the sector, leading to the creation of white collar and blue collar jobs.

Relaxing rules for international travelers without mandatory isolation or RT-PCR testing for fully vaccinated people is also expected to boost foreign tourist arrivals. Sabnavis said all of this will result in the need for more workers as the industry prepares to meet increased demand.

Others on the rise include Zostel, a chain of backpacker hostels looking for people who can research and build property in India, chief operating officer Deep Banka said. Samir MC, managing director of Fortune Park Hotels, said the company plans to add at least 1,000 employees over the next six months. Given the expected growth in the number of hotels in operation and the expected increase in economic activity in 2022-23, we will hire more than 2,000 people, he said.

STAAH has partnered with hoo, an innovative new dot com company that puts hotels first. hoo is revolutionizing the online booking market with an offer that offers customers better prices while increasing profits and hotel occupancy. This unique win-win offer is made possible by its automated system, which allows hotels to implement dynamic pricing and unique booking incentives without violating rate parity agreements. Importantly, hoo only charges a flat 5% commission on bookings to ensure hoteliers have the opportunity to offer attractive rates and experiences while generating more revenue per booking compared to a traditional OTA.
With a mission to “change the way hotels are booked online for the better”, hoo focuses on creating an experience rather than creating a transaction-driven platform that puts customers back in control, thanks to its fair and fun approach that builds loyalty from the first reservation.

Although hoo is a new player in the market, it already has an integrated and connected partnership with Google Hotels and is currently building global inventory. Their ambitious team has made significant investments to fuel their growth and they are here to improve the online booking industry.

As consumers seek variety, hoo believes there needs to be a more equitable platform for both parties to come together to negotiate this experience. With cutting-edge technology and dynamic pricing technology, hoo has created a platform that aims to positively disrupt the OTA space and be a friendly face for hosting providers around the world.

With this integration, hotels can distribute their rates and availability in real time on the justhooit platform through the STAAH Channel Manager and take advantage of all the benefits that hoo has to offer. The platform is a powerful and fair alternative for hotels to sell their rooms the way they want, without the overhead typically associated with online booking platforms.

Tarun Joukani, Commercial Director of STAAH, said they are delighted to partner with hoo and offer their partner properties a new channel with innovative features to market rates and availability and maximize their profits. hoo’s automated trading system and STAAH’s distribution technology will help accommodation providers get more bookings and increase sales.

Facebook Marketplace and other digital shopping opportunities have gained popularity during the pandemic. However, the ABC7, I-Team notes that complaints about online shopping are on the rise and some consumers may not get answers when they have a problem.
Didn’t receive a product or bought something that looks completely different than advertised?

Whether it’s an online classified ad like Facebook Marketplace or a link you see on social media, consumer experts want you to slow down before you type and buy. It was a high-end vacuum, like a Roomba, which Elizabeth Savio and her wife Michelle said they wanted to buy. The Round Lake couple say they saw these photos of a high-end robotic vacuum cleaner model on Facebook Marketplace.

Instead, they received two models, which they describe as lower-end models. Elizabeth said that she ended up with a toy and cannot walk on a carpet, and it can only walk on a smooth surface or a hard surface.

The Savios claim that the cheapest model they ended up with was also advertised, but that’s not what they clicked on. The popular Facebook Marketplace is a modern update to other online ads. Most have little regulation of transactions. But Facebook says many products on the market are covered by buyer protection.  However, this plan does not cover transactions made when you click through to third-party websites, such as the one used by Savios, or local transactions where you meet people in person.

Meta, Facebook’s parent company, told I-Team that products and services sold on its platforms must comply with its “Business Policies” and “Community Standards,” which include a prohibition on being “misleading, deceptive or fraudulent.”

Steve Bernas, President and CEO of the Better Business Bureau of Chicago and Northern Illinois, told the I-Team that in ScamTracker complaints for 2021, about 40% of online purchases will involve Facebook and Instagram. .

Facebook and Instagram also have the most dominant social media presence, but online shopping complaints are pervasive. The same Better Business Bureau study shows that all online shopping scams have nearly doubled since 2019, when the 2020 pandemic began.

Bernas said a scammer could create a fake profile and post something on Facebook pretty quickly. Meta claims to have removed billions of fake profiles in the last few years; Still, some buyers continue to get scammed. The Savios say they have little confidence that they will find a solution with people who have sold them a low-end vacuum instead of a high-end vacuum.

You can report suspicious ads to Facebook and it will likely remove them. Additionally, if you do business locally, take precautions to stay safe. You should meet at a police station instead of going home, or make sure you’re not alone.

The Covid-19 pandemic in India has breathed new life into emerging startups to maximize the potential for a global shift from local and in-person to digital reality. In times like these, reaching all parts of a country that is still in the early years of technological advances, especially at the local level, has been a major challenge.
While big cities are better connected to the online space, the pandemic has made it difficult for people in remote and rural areas. Lokal CEO and co-founder Jani Pasha said the pandemic is a tipping point for the global economy. Due to the lockdowns, the digital divide has continued to widen to highlight the lack of connectivity, mobility and insufficient awareness in rural areas.

As India’s first city ‘super app’, Lokal strives to empower local businesses and entrepreneurs by helping them reach the right audience and helping local people get regional job updates, weddings, real estate and classifieds. Ultimately, Lokal aims to become a “complete multi-function app” for cities and communities, enabling its users to explore the true potential of the internet beyond entertainment.

Discussing the barriers to delivering content to less savvy audiences, Pasha, who was featured on the Forbes 30 under 30 Asia 2020 list, said it was important to bridge the connectivity gap and opportunities between the cities close to non-metropolitan areas. For most of these users, WhatsApp has long been the equivalent of the internet. The biggest hurdle was redirecting the customers from entertainment to explore meaningful opportunities, since users inherently tend to consume content for pleasure, he said.

The digital divide in India starts at the basic level and a pandemic was enough to put it in the spotlight. With schools closed, the education sector faced an immediate need to transform and foster a symbiotic relationship with technology. Edtech for India will be a real game changer, says Gaurav Goel, founder of Samagra, a mission-driven government consultancy that works with central and state governments on all fronts to make an impact in the country.

Even before the world knew about the coronavirus, Samagra began bridging the digital divide, working with state bureaucratic leaders to solve complex, large-scale governance problems in areas like education and employment. As part of an initiative called “Saksham Haryana,” the company has worked with the Haryana government to give five lakh tablets free to students in grades 11 and 12, and another three lakh tablets to students in grades 9 and 10.

In Uttar Pradesh, the company provided basic literacy and numeracy skills to 1.2 million public primary school children as part of an initiative called ‘Mission Prerna’. It’s the cornerstone of the nationwide NIPUN Bharat mission, many of which are inspired by the Prerna mission, says Goel, who quit his high-paying job at McKinsey to follow his passion.

Samagra has also partnered with Google to develop the Prerna Lakshya app to be used by parents and teachers to assess students and also help them practice weaker skills. In addition, the company has also been involved in the agriculture, healthcare, utilities and education sectors. Launch of the KALIA program in Odisha, offering life insurance coverage of ₹2 lakh at a nominal premium to landless farmers and farm workers aged 18-50 with a savings account.

Goel adds that they have been instrumental in changing this narrative by working with the Odisha government to design and facilitate the implementation of their flagship KALIA program. KALIA was also the forerunner of the central government’s PM-KISAN. However, all this was not easy, since they had to “change their mind” from technical solutions.
Pasha says that in recent years, government and investor sentiment has been seen to be very positive towards the burgeoning startup ecosystem. The growing industry is already projected as the backbone of the economy; Various strategies and initiatives have also been put in place to foster progress.

He said that for entrepreneurs looking to work in India, now seems like a good time to hit the nail on the head compared to recent years. The journey from India at 75 years of independence to India at 100 years will be transformative. Now is the time to go back and help make the next 25 years count. Samagra founder Goel clarifies the vision for those aspiring to join the ecosystem.

WhiteSource, a leading open source security and management vendor, today released an Azure DevOps repository integration that allows Azure DevOps users to discover all open source components and automatically apply security policies. Users can now receive vulnerability alerts as well as detailed remediation information, including suggested fixes and prioritization notices, all conveniently in their native environment without having to learn a new user interface (UI).
As the time to market for applications shrinks each year, software development teams are challenged to speed up their processes without compromising security. Many software composition analysis (SCA) vendors check the repository for vulnerabilities, but only return the results in their own user interface, which slows down the development process. The WhiteSource for Azure Repos integration automatically scans open source code for security vulnerabilities or license violations with every merge request before the code is merged. If a merge request introduces a new bug, the developer receives immediate feedback to fix the newly introduced vulnerabilities. Positive feedback is given when a pull requirement fixes vulnerabilities. This different view between parent branches avoids workflow interruptions. In addition to Whitesource’s existing integration with all major code repositories including GitHub Packages, JFrog, Bitbucket and GitLab, the new Whitesource integration for Azure Repo enables users to build inventory, security and compliance.

With WhiteSource’s cloud integration for Azure Repos, users can:

1. View automated remediation suggestions WhiteSource Enterprise automatically generates repository pull requests to update vulnerable open source components to the lowest non-vulnerable version.
2. Apply policies Policies are automatically applied to the repository for each merge request. The status and results of each scan are displayed on the Confirmations page.
3. Merge Confidence feature uses crowdsourced data to show the likelihood that an open source component can be updated without interrupting the build. Merge Confidence includes age, acceptance, and upgrade compatibility data to create a confidence score.
4. Find IaC misconfiguration Protect production environments and secure cloud, containers and Kubernetes directly from Azure repositories.

Ori Bach, executive vice president of products at WhiteSource, said scanning for vulnerabilities within the repository is the “far left” organization that can defer its security efforts while continuing to enforce policies and requiring all developers to analyze their code. The cost of patching vulnerabilities increases as you progress through your software development lifecycle. With the WhiteSource for Azure Repos integration, developers can get feedback on their code while it’s still fresh in their minds, making it easier to fix vulnerabilities and help organizations save time and money.

About White Source:

WhiteSource helps companies accelerate secure software development. It provides automated tools that help close security knowledge gaps, integrate easily into the software development lifecycle, and go beyond detection with a remediation-focused approach. Based on the industry’s most comprehensive vulnerability database, WhiteSource offers the broadest coverage of threats and attack vectors. The solution helps companies such as Microsoft, IBM, Comcast, Philips and many others reduce security risks and increase the productivity of their development and security teams.

As we face a surge in Omicron variant cases with a new wave of Covid, we are once again attempting to stay safe while maintaining a semblance of normality. Unlike the previous two years, there is no enforced lockdown this time and people are going about their business as usual. Going to the office, shopping for groceries, meeting friends and family, albeit with caution.

But if there’s one sector that’s hit again, it’s the restaurant/ catering sector. Indian Express previously reported closing restaurants in Delhi to stem the rise in cases. While nothing can replace the experience of sitting down at a fancy restaurant, or even a coffee shop and eating your favorite food, there is an odd comfort in eating the exact same food at home.

Cloud kitchens and takeaways have given people access to fine dining and just about anything else they could desire, and restaurant owners and businesses are capitalizing on that potential.

For example, Foodya is a cloud kitchen that offers customers an authentic taste of North Indian, South Indian, Italian, Continental and other similar cuisines. Bharat Sharma, director of Foodya, said people are skeptical about going to restaurants these days due to safety concerns amid the pandemic. Therefore, they are deprived of the convenience that restaurants offer. However, cloud kitchens are revolutionizing this by delivering groceries to your home. Its services are perfect for busy and pandemic-affected city life.

He explained that cloud kitchens are “virtual entities” that only offer food for delivery or takeout. Although they don’t offer catering, they provide “fresh, satisfying meals on time and at your convenience”. They have several advantages over a traditional restaurant chain. While food entrepreneurs can start a business with very little investment, cloud kitchens are an affordable way for customers to have quality food.

Naman Pugalia, the founder of Peppo, agreed. He said all kitchens are cloud kitchens by definition. The volume of delivery and take-out has increased significantly in recent years due to various restrictions enacted by the government. The line between cooking and cloud cooking is blurred.

Peppo, a Bangalore-based brand caters to the needs of restaurants and enables them to sell online so they can focus solely on cooking. Pugalia added that eating out has declined, both due to “restrictions and regulations”. As working from home has increased, the overall share of wallet in terms of grocery delivery has also increased. Restaurants that prided themselves on the dining experience have also shifted to delivery and takeout. Pugalia said that many traditional kitchens have recently branched out and now serve different types of cuisines, and in a way, this has led to the blossoming of cloud kitchens, as all kitchens want to be present in the pool of visualization when consumers think about it, whether eating out or calling the grocery store at home.

What are the restaurants saying about it?

That’s the only option at the moment, according to Thomas Fenn, owner of Delhi’s Mahabelly restaurant, known for its takeout and delivery in southern India. But it varies by category. So while it’s good for those involved in casual dining, it doesn’t work as well for high end restaurants because a lot of what they’re selling is the experience and the level of service. They have a cloud kitchen on Gurugram, but that’s not a result of the pandemic; They have been doing it since 2017. They have partnered with food aggregators (like Swiggy and Zomato), and luckily or sadly, 90% of all sales are now on these platforms, even though the commissions are ridiculously high.

While Fenn stressed that fine dining and luxury restaurants cannot rely solely on cloud kitchens, Zorawar Kalra, founder and director of Massive Restaurants, which owns brands like Farzi Cafe, Pa Pa Ya and Bo Tai, said at indianexpress.com as of April 2021, have “largely shifted to a deep cloud approach”. They already have two brands, Louis Burger and Butter Delivery, launched in many parts of India and will soon launch a pizza and biryani brand in the cloud space. Before the pandemic, he was not interested in the cloud business. But then they started thinking about it and came to the conclusion that with the same spirit, level of energy and detail as offline, they could create a cloud kitchen mockup that replicates a top dining experience. Kalra added that the beauty of the cloud kitchen model is the low installation costs and the return on investment and time. But this does not mean that the offline model loses its relevance. Restaurants and bars will always be the bastion of hope for human civic engagement.

After the initial closure, the gourmet space quickly resumed operations. Indian Express reported in 2020 how hotels have taken steps to provide guests with a new experience by overhauling the menu, introducing food trucks, taking away food, and more.

Rahul Puri, general manager of multiple properties for The Westin Gurgaon, New Delhi and The Westin Sohna Resort and Spa, commented on the cloud/ home kitchen model, telling that they are proud to be able to continue to start conversations about food from the comfort of their home through our food delivery services.

The Westin Gurgaon, New Delhi launched meal delivery services under Marriott International’s Bonvoy on Wheels umbrella in May 2020; This remains a key segment driving sales to this day. Their delivery menu includes specialties from all of the restaurants, including signatures from the expatriate chefs from EEST (Pan-Asian) and Prego (Italian).
Initially the hotel ran the service using its own resources, but as demand grew it signed up with food delivery aggregators and is now available on food apps. The need was to review the “delivery menu” and experiment with different ingredients to ensure that when the product reaches the customer, it is visually appealing, as well as tasty and textural. It is important to monitor industry forecasts and trends, be agile and continue to innovate to meet current demands. While they always had an “Eat Right” menu, they now have a section dedicated to special dietary needs such as ketogenic and vegan items and special immunity boosters, especially for the current scenario.
