Check-in to Marriott Latin America hotels, check out a GoPro Hero4 camera

By Les Shu Published January 15, 2015

Heading to the Caribbean or Latin American for vacay? If you’re staying at one of these 17 Marriott properties, then leave the camera at home. Marriott announced a partnership with GoPro that will let guests check out a Hero4 action cam. Since many of the hotels are located in places where water activities like swimming, snorkeling, boating, etc. take place, being able to check out a Hero4 cameras is a nice perk.

All the hotel guest has to do is go to the front desk and ask to check out the camera. Users are invited to share their footage with Marriott via social networking of their choice (using the hashtags #GoPro, #travelbrilliantly, and #viajegenial), and Marriott will pick some to show on its Travel Brilliantly website, social media channels, as well as on the TVs inside hotel rooms. For GoPro, it’s a great way to advertise the product; for guests, it means one less item to pack. From experiments with Oculus Rift to in-hotel social networking, the campaign is another example of Marriott incorporating technology to appeal to the modern traveler.
