💡 The idea behind Hotiday, a startup from batch VI of our #Acceleration program, emerged from a significant fact about the hotel industry: in Italy, on average, 30% of #hotel rooms remain #unsold. 🏨 Starting from this data, Federico Brunelli, Federico Di Carlo, and Vittorio Gargiulo created Hotiday, the first virtual hotel builder that manages rooms in selected establishments in prime #locations and enhances them with additional #services and #accessories, catering to the needs of digital natives. Thanks to its #algorithm, the startup can identify and acquire #unsold hotel rooms. After purchasing them in advance, Hotiday #resells the rooms online under its own brand, "Hotiday Hotels".
