Mikenopa adds to iPass hotel footprint in Europe

Tuesday, August 9th, 2011 John Gallagher, Sr. Public Relations Manager

Today we announced a partnership with Mikenopa, a service provider that supplies luxury and business hotels in Central and Eastern Europe with top-class technologies.

As Miroslav Hanus from Mikenopa said: “Our mission is to provide five-star service to hotels so they can benefit from additional income or significant operational savings [and] our relationship with iPass strengthens our offering by bringing iPass users to world-class hotels.”

Over the recent past we have seen a growing demand from iPass users to offer connectivity in Central and Eastern Europe and it’s not only iPass that is seeing increased demand either.

A recent survey conducted by HRS, a hotel reservation portal company, revealed that increasing numbers of visitors are going to Central and Eastern Europe. Travelers are finding prices rising for hotels in Moscow, Bratislava and Warsaw, but Prague, Budapest and Belgrade are keeping prices low. Additionally, Hungary is seeing an increase of MICE – not the rodents-type but the Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions -type. Budapest held two-thirds of the events according to a recent article with the rest of the events being hosted in rural areas of Hungary particular in the Balaton region.

So if you’re planning a business trip to Moscow, (like to the Hilton Moscow Leningradskaya Hotel), Prague or any of the 90 hotel destinations we’ve partnered with Mikenopa – plan your trip with the iPass Hotspot Finder throughout Russia, Slovakia, Greece and the Czech Republic.
