HOT TALKS HOTEL INTEL
WITH TRAVELIKO
Why Traveliko?
Traveliko is a new generation OTA. It was built from the ground up for today’s savvy
travelers who want more choices, more information, more authentic experiences,
and above all, a fair deal. This “Underdog OTA” was conceived by veteran hoteliers
who saw their profits squeezed due to the high commissions paid to the dominant
OTAs. This ultimately had an impact on quality. They wanted to give power back to
the hotels so they, in turn, could increase the overall satisfaction of their customers.
Traveliko’s bigger picture goal is to get engaged with and improve the environment
and the quality of life of those in need through charitable projects. This fits well with
the aspirations of today’s socially conscious travelers.
How is all this done?
Traveliko is a little secretive about its special sauce and what exactly they’ve been
doing for the last three years while developing their product. Hotel Intel persuaded
them to talk about the industry and the opportunities it presents, as well as how tra-
vellers today should expect better service from hotels and how they can help improve
that service at the same time.
