Hotels that take advantage of VBrochure have all of their visual content distributed within a highly-compatible Multimedia Viewer to provide travel shoppers with more interactive and engaging experiences. More information about VBrochure is available here. “At Luxe, one of our goals is to fulfill the marketing and eBusiness needs of our member hotels.

We are confident that VScape and VBrochure will prove to be extremely valuable tools for the Luxe Worldwide Hotels and its members,” states Paolo Boni, President and CEO, VFM Leonardo.
