Welcome to the Emerald Forest Hotel!

This is the homepage of the Game called 04LV, October 2013. 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 3,964 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: Hotel insights for 2013 will open a new tab in your browser and open the website of the link. So they go outside this platform. Maybe check the video help first to get an impressions, especially the page the Guided tour through the platform.

Always check the news: latest news always on top

To make your appearance at the Trade fair as useful as possible, your preparations on your teampage (task 3 and 5) must be ready (new, logo, slogan, introduction of new management).
