Acoustic Bites, Episode 11 - Controlling Noise and Vibrations in a Hotel This is an important video if you are in the hospitality industry. Noise and vibration are serious concerns in the hospitality industry. It is all the more important in hotels. Your worldwide clients staying in your hotel certainly deserve an optimum acoustic performance for their peaceful stay. This doesn't happen just like that with architectural design. Lots of acoustic engineering elements need to be incorporated at the construction stage. G-Acoustics provides the latest technological know-how to address noise and vibration issues in buildings. #gacoustics #acoustics #acousticdesign #acousticsolutions #noisecontrol #noisereduction #noise https://lnkd.in/gpWm8jH3 

I try to look around and find all opinions on new projects - especially when the views are heavily leaning one way (all positive, or all negative). And sometimes, you come across things like this, which almost feel like bait. (...although I guess I took it...) "The $2.1 Billion Disney Theme Park Gamble" ...maybe its me, but I believe that most of the Fantasy Springs reviews are positive not due to pressure to be positive but because the expansion is actually good. And I feel like this article earned a solid “huh”? From me. Yes, there could be criticism of Fantasy Springs for various reasons, but I am not sure “gamble” is the word they’re looking for here. In a way its the opposite of a gamble, they played it safe introducing Fantasyland into both parks. That could be a valid criticism - maybe the wonky way its being operated could be a valid criticism. But I feel like "In fact it could become one of the most expensive mistakes ever made in a Disney park." is just trolling. And I took the bait, we're talking about it, but what do you think?   https://lnkd.in/e9t8jDjY #letsmakeplans #themedentertainment #themedesign #themeparks #disneyparks

The City of Anaheim, State of California, granted preliminary approval April 16 to a The Walt Disney Company plan to invest $1.9 billion in its flagship Disneyland Resort in the Southern California city over the next 10 years.  Disneyland Resort Forward lays the template for creating new attractions, restaurants and shops on property Disney already owns. It includes Disney paying Anaheim $85 million for street and transportation improvements, $30 million for affordable housing, $10 million for sewer upgrades and $8 million for parks, according to a project fact sheet. The investment would create 7,800 construction jobs, according to a news release from California Gov. Gavin Newsom.  According to the fact sheet, there are also incentives for Disney to invest up to $2.5 billion within the 10-year timeframe, or pay the city an additional $5 million in cash.

Guest interactions are just as crucial as theming in the theme park industry... both create memorable experiences, like this one: https://lnkd.in/gqBKuWsG

What's the story? Every image tells its own story. When shooting for the first Paramount Hotel I had an open brief as this was the first Paramount Hotel in the world. Discussing the project with Dir. of Marketing Inna, I proposed a Hollywood lighting style in order to be reflective of the Paramount brand, Strong lighting design was the key. I believe the outcome was very successful. What do you think? Will this image endure the test of time?   #paramountpictures #paramount #paramounthotel #hotelsandresorts #hospitalitymarketing #hospitality #hospitalityphotography #lightingdesign
