Your Salsa Pub

An estimated 50,000 tourists will go on a camping holiday across the UK over the August holiday period. If you are also going for a camping and caravanning holiday then you have another reason to cheer. You can now enjoy internet connectivity at your camp site if it is one of the 77 sites selected by BT Openzone - so happy campers with dongles at the ready.

The notion of a camping holiday until some time back was setting up a tent at the camp site with a single public phone being the only connectivity option with the rest of the world. But the internet service provider, BT, will now provide free internet access through WiFi to those who go for camping and caravanning. The company has identified 77 main leisure and holiday parks across the country for this purpose. With the availability of WiFi access at the camp site, the campers can remain connected with the world through internet from their tents instead of the traditional phone box at the camp site.

The camper only requires carrying a WiFi enabled device to enjoy this service. This service is open to BT OpenZone users and also to the subscribers of mobile broadband and O2 iPhone who are eligible to WiFi minutes as per their contract. Others can purchase BT OpenZone vouchers online before going for the trip and utilise the service.

General manger of BT OpenZone, Chris Bruce, said that the option of remaining connected will provide additional means of entertainment like online games in case rough weather forces you to stay confined to the tents. It can also be used to search for local tourist information and making cheap internet calls.
