Filip Bloch, co-founder and CEO of Hotailors, says: “We managed to survive the most difficult pandemic period for the industry. It was a time of major redundancies and restructuring among agents specializing in business travel. We used this time to expand our sales team, develop our technology and IT department and strengthen our visibility.
“We are now seeing an upturn in the market and the return of multinational corporations to business travel. The investment round we have raised will allow us to strengthen our position in international markets where we are already present and to enter new ones, including African countries. It is worth noting that we are currently rebranding to WorkTrips.com and part of the funds raised will be allocated to marketing activities.”
