I love OTA! NO, I don’t!

It is neither a debate, nor a comparison.

One large OTA will explain why millions of people rely on their services and how to succeed with them.

Another big player in the market explains why this is not the case, leaving it to the public to decide who is right.

Luxury or Lifestyle

In new hotel concepts, we have long been "over and above" the starred ratings.

Are we now perhaps also losing the luxury rating?

Indeed, it seems more important for the hotel industry to have truly creative, rather than expensive, plans, in search of “lifestyle” hotels, with some tips to consider on how to do it.

Part #2
One of the most successful startups in Europe is also one of the most interesting cases to follow. Going from A to B with just one ticketing has always been one of the main goals of travel, regardless of the means used. They have succeeded.
