Hotelverse
Headquarters: Mallorca, Spain
CEO: Fermín Carmona
Website: Hotelverse
Founding date: 2020
Investment: €2 million
Hotelverse seeks
to disintermediate hotel sales by providing a value proposition that cannot be
replicated by the intermediary channel and by building a product focused on
improving product knowledge to attract the consumer more efficiently and be
selected over third parties.
Hotelverse drives
its profitability through an immersive booking experience in the “Digital Twin,”
a hyper-realistic 3D model that gives customers the right to choose their room
and design their stay. This hyper-realistic technology brings an immersive
shopping proposition that allows the hotel and its facilities to be shown as
the customer would like to see them. The user can fly over it, explore it,
select the exact room and book it, planning his trip on a digital twin,
starting to live his vacation from the moment he books it.

Strategic goals for 2023
We are very pleased with the growth of the
company. In less than six months, we have managed to consolidate a team of 40 employees and we expect to double its size
by the end of the year.
The business plans for the company include a
short-term internalization. Currently we are already present in the Caribbean,
and we plan to cover new markets such as the United States and Greece in the coming months. We plan to be present in Asia next year.
Lessons learned since founding
The offer of technology is very wide, and we
have understood that at a certain point the word technology has a negative
meaning in the sense that it requires time, dedication, and resources. That is
why we believe it is essential to present Hotelverse as an innovative tool that
is easy to implement, smart and simple technology.
