Kalimera App
Booking Tools | 5th Cycle
Kalimera is an online platform with three main functions: A travel guide for the visitor. An online booking system for businesses. An affiliate network that returns a commission on every booking.
Kalimera App
Detailed presentation
Kalimera app is a modern tourist guide that brings together all the experiences a destination has to offer and in return offers them to the traveler giving emphasis on an instant booking option ‘Book Now’. The application’s goal is to bring together tourism channels, local economy and travelers in an efficient network that will observe, track and trace the consumption of each traveler. In addition will pay the channel that introduced the traveler to the network, the corresponding commission. This way Kalimera will create a competitive and free network where each business will gain easy access to an extra channel of bookings increasing their flow of bookings and the entire destination’s consumption.
The problem
The current business model introduces travelers to a limited number of options, consisting of a small network of affiliations. Connections between travelers and their potential experiences are funneled only through pre-existing contracts and familiar relationships between hotel owners and their collaborators. In a word this limits a traveler’s experience to a predetermined set of opportunities and does not offer him a holistic view of the destination. In simple terms To conclude a traveler lands at a destination and is given a restricted set of ideas which are not based on the depth and the variety a destination has to offer. They are based solely on the hotel’s affiliations and contracts. He will find out all about A and B destination but he will not discover anything about X, Y, Z.
Our proposal
Our business model offers a fully holistic tourism guide to travelers. An unlimited list of a destination’s experiences where they can browse, select, and book. We gather and categorize all the information, products, and experiences a traveler may need in one easily accessible, user friendly and free place. This offers the traveler a database of knowledge to create a holiday tailor made to his preferences. Furhermore, it offers to our business partner access to a network of unlimited partnerships; a free commission market where everyone earns simply by recommending our app. In time a traveler browses, we can observe his choices, offer him personalized proposals and after each booking the commission is attributed back to the partner from which the user originated. 360 travel experience To summarize we elevate the travel experience making it a 360 one for all where commissions can be made on a mass scale. The final goal for Kalimera is to find, cooperate and award the travel funnels that supply its application with the best potential clients based on consumption. The Kalimera ecosystem aims not only to increase visitors but also consumption.
