Inside Mauritius' most iconic hotel: SHANGRI-LA LE TOUESSROK (full resort tour in 4K)
video description
Tennis was such a 70s and 80s fad.
I live in Germany and it was especially extreme here, because Steffie Graf and Boris Becker made the sport incredibly popular back then. So popular that news about tennis weren't even confined to the sports section of the news program. When you watch German TV news from the 80s, they'll tell you about the current tennis world ranking in between news about Gorbachev - Reagan peace talks and news about acid rain and the Ozone Hole.
So they built tennis courts all over the country back then and those courts just sit around today as artifacts of a bygone era with nobody ever playing tennis on them.

Such a gorgeous place! I think that with a little bit of effort they can make it even better for disabled guests- I see they have wheelchair accessible rooms/bathrooms and there are ramps at the elevators and railings at most large stairs, but there are also people who are not in a wheelchair who could get a little bit of help. I have balance issues after a spinal cord injury, so stairs are a problem. And with 'stairs' I mean anything with more than one step. In this video, see at 19: 32, 24. 20 and 24. 50 for instance. Also, in every pool there should be handrails, so that people with weak legs can get in and out of the pool themselves, without having to ask someone to help them. See for instance at 20: 18. And if they want to do it perfectly, also put a small handrail next to every toilet and bathtub, not only in the wheelchair accessible rooms. There are over 1 billion people worldwide with a disability, including people who love luxury travel. So it makes sense to cater to them. Not everybody wants to go on a holiday for disabled people (nightmare. It would be so good if you could raise this issue when talking with hotel managements- for them it's a small effort, with a lot of positive results economically. Most healthy people (including resort designers) just don't think about this, which is understandable. It's a challenge to design these items in a cool way, but it certainly can be done. Keep up the good work with your vlogs, they make Saturdays so much better!
