Families will get to experience out-of-this-world activities at participating Novotel locations. Geared towards kids, the campaign offers visitors a surprising assortment of LIGHTYEAR coloring cards, games, stickers, and a star projector upon request. The projector transforms the Novotel guest's room into an intergalactic oasis. In addition to the fun visuals, each family member will receive a boarding pass to embark on a family mission.
