Quartz Inn Hotels' concept is facilitating access to the latest hotel technology for independent hotels that do not have sufficient means to compete with large hotel chains.
We are building a new kind of tourism that is sustainable, fair, based on technology, and helping local communities preserve their traditions,” Quartz Inn Hotels said.
