above, Hotel Eden’s motions to dismiss the complaint for lack of personal jurisdiction or for forum non conveniens are denied. The parties should appear for a scheduling conference on May 7, 2002, at 4:30 p.m. IT IS SO ORDERED. 1 . Travel Bound's facsimile cover sheet refers to itself as "A Gulliver’s Company.” Cert, of Andrew Jacobs, Ex. N. 2 . There is no jurisdiction under New York's long-arm statute, C.P.L.R. § 302(a), because there is an insufficiently strong connection between the reservations made inside the State of New York and the tort itself (requiring that causes of action brought under § 302(a) arise out of the non-domiciliary’s contacts with New York). See Noble v. Singapore Resort Motel of Miami Beach, 21 N.Y.2d 1006, 1008, 290 N.Y.S.2d 926, 927, 238 N.E.2d 328 (1968)
