== Welcome to the Emerald Forest Hotel!==__NOEDITSECTION__
This is the homepage of the Game called 06NL, April 2014.
From this central point you can navigate to the pages with information you need. All blue links are clickable and will bring you to another page in the platform. For instance clicking on [[Photos and videos]] will jump to this page in the platform with photos and videos of the hotel. The navigation left-hand site will always stay active: and you can use ''back'' in your browser. But there is by now ''{{NUMBEROFPAGES}} pages'' in this platform, so if you're new first follow the steps later on on this page to prevent you from getting''lost''. All links which look like this - with a small blue arrow - [http://hotelexecutive.com/newswire/43113/top-10-hospitality-industry-tren for-2013 hospitality trends 2013] and will open a new tab in your browser and open a new website outside of this platform on a new browser tab. <br>
