Another characteristic to emphasize is how up-to-date NH Hotels’ posts are. They take advantage of certain festivity dates to attract a more specific audience to their blog. Fiestas del Pilar de Zaragoza, Oktoberfest or Open House Madrid are just some of these examples. They know that a few days before these events or parties, Internet users will search them on Google. That is why they decide to get ahead and position themselves by these keywords.
Vincci Hotels, Travel. Live. Vincci.
The Vincci Hoteles chain doesn’t hesitate when using its blog as a channel to show the advantages of staying in one of their hotels. Although a large part of their posts are related to the services of their hotels, they do dare to relate their offer to the demand that arises from different parties or outstanding events.
For example, a post titled 'Taste the Festivals of the Pillar in the restaurant of Vincci Zaragoza Zentro 4*' seeks at the same time to present its hotel in this city. And it also looks for getting traffic of an audience that wishes to travel to Zaragoza during its emblematic celebrations or just to go out to dine at a special place that day.
They also take advantage of their blog to attract participants in their contests or to address more general issues, which are somehow related to the tourism world.
