Hi Adelle, some things become so entrenched into a global society that it seems impossible for the world to run without them, WiFi, being one of them. We can live without them, we had to once, but we don't.
People these days have an expectation that WiFi is a basic ammenity when on the move. Whole city centres are blanketed in free WiFi now and all but those seaking a willderness experience will expect to 'log-on'.
The problem is Adelle, if you do not provide WiFi you will either lose bookings because you don't have it, or you will have guests complain because you don't have it....... and either way it will cost you money.
Back, a couple of years ago before Wifi became so entrenched and just a standard part of an internet modem, I used to keep on the property a pre-paid data 'pocket WiFi' with 5Gbs of data on it which had to be used in a three month period. I think from memory it only used to cost me about $27.50 per charge and it was connected to the Vodaphone network. Now there are companies like Amasym which offer far greater data amounts for considerable less money. It may be an idea for you to go down this path. Don't just flash it for every guest but, if someone asks specifically what internet access is available just tell them that "a regular WiFi service is unfortuantely not available but to get around any problems have the use of this....the first charge is on me, subsequent ones are on you "!
I think you would find this would be a cheaper investment than the flack, and the missed bookings you are going to cop by not having WiFi!
Cheers.......Rob
