WORK’S A BEACH

WORK’S A BEACH



NEW YORK (Wireless Flash) – Most folks would love to do their work while sitting on a chaise lounge on a Caribbean beach – well, that’s becoming a reality for some business bigwigs. Eight Caribbean resorts in the Hilton hotel chain are starting a program called “Office Alfresco” which lets business travelers set up an office on the beach or by the pool. Here’s how it works: The resorts set up a table and chair or lounger with a “lap table” by the water and provide an “Aqua Assistant” for fetching office supplies, faxes or even tropical drinks. The set-up allows participants to lounge in their swimsuits sipping fruity drinks like a tourist while also bringing home the bacon. Even better, there’s no extra charge for the outdoor office in paradise.
