Cairns' Smart Cars - A Success Story
CAIRNS, Australia, 15 December 2009 - When hotelier, John Baker decided to introduce a fleet of Mercedes Smart Cars to his unique boutique hotel in the heart of Cairns, his aim was to provide a service that was innovative and functional, providing his guests with an easy and fun way to explore all the magnificent attractions the Cairns' region has to offer.
With over fifty years of experience behind him, John could also see the marketing advantage of these cute, practical, comfortable and energy-saving vehicles that are seen, not only around the Cairns CBD, but also day-tripping from Mission Beach, to the Tablelands to Port Douglas. For those who just want the freedom of use of a car for serious shopping or business, The Hotel Cairns is happy for you to take the car by the hour.
John sees the fleet doubling next year as his guests see the added value of, not just staying at this beautiful tropical oasis, but being able to explore the region at their leisure. Stay at The Hotel Cairns and receive FREE* use of a Smart Car during your stay and, you'll agree with John, that these great little cars will double the enjoyment of your holiday or facilitate your business requirements.
