→ Go! Running competition

Word of welcome by Christina Bergman, owner of the Emerald Forest Hotel. Christina Bergman, owner of the hotel, says: "I would kindly like to welcome you all to this game! My name is Christina Bergman: my family and I used to run the Emerald Forest Hotel, a nice and cozy hotel with 100 rooms. In fact we still own 50% of the hotel , but we are in urgent need of new management insights! This platform is supporting you, as the new management team, in running my hotel. You, as well as a number of other management teams, have the unique opportunity to show you can do better than we did in recent years. I will surely keep an eye on you, for I am still an active member of the Board of Directors. I wish you all lots of success!" Want to see the promotional movie on the Emerald Forest Hotel?
