A few words from Luisa Camara, CEO of Travelgate.
To our Buyers, Sellers and Partners,
Many of us have known each other for years. We’ve met at industry events, worked through challenges, shared ideas and celebrated new connections.
After ten years at Travelgate, I stepped into the role of CEO earlier this year. I’m very excited about the opportunity to keep growing the company my brother built from scratch.
Many of you probably weren’t surprised by this week’s announcement from Travelsoft, because you’ve already been working with me in this role. And that’s exactly what Pedro and I had hoped for. We’ve been working on this transition for a long time, making sure it happened naturally, without disrupting your business or the relationships we’ve built over the years.
Business as usual, just a different sibling at the helm.
I’ve worked across many parts of Travelgate, from commercial and marketing to product and strategy. One thing has stayed constant: the people in our network. Travelgate has grown because of you, and I want to thank you for your trust.
I’m incredibly fortunate to have alongside me Óscar Pérez and Carlos Tur, two of Travelgate’s founding members, and Joan Palou, who joined them four years later. Their experience, commitment and support mean a great deal to me.
Looking after your business every day is our team of Directors: Fabián Núñez (Partnerships & Marketing), Fran Montoya (Commercial Expansion), Javier Roda (Engineering), Benet Oliver (Core Architecture), Camila Pérez (Product), Jesús Corrius (Agent Architecture), Diego Blasco (Infrastructure) and Adrià García (UX/Design). Together with their teams, they make sure we deliver on our commitments, keep improving our services and help your business grow.
Looking ahead, we’re taking Travelgate beyond connectivity. We’re building on our global infrastructure to bring hotel and room content into the same connection our partners already use for availability, pricing and bookings. We’re also developing new connectivity options for partners who work with cached inventory, strengthening our DMC network with a dedicated product, helping partners grow their sales through data-driven solutions, and opening our network to third-party apps that add value throughout the shopping and booking journey.
With connections across every continent and the strength of Travelsoft Group behind us, our ambition is to give you more ways to connect, compete and grow.
Pedro is now taking on new responsibilities within Travelsoft Group, and I’m deeply grateful he’ll remain involved with Travelgate as Non-Executive Advisor. And, of course, I know where he lives. ;)
There’s still a lot we want to do, and we want to keep doing it with you.
Thank you for being part of the Travelgate network. It was wonderful seeing many of you at WTM London and I look forward to continuing our conversations.
See you soon,
Luisa Camara
CEO, Travelgate
