Going global…
Within the last days the GetYourGuide team spent a considerable amount contacting Guides in some of the major European cities, such as London, Berlin, Paris and Amsterdam. We have talked to many tourguides and agencies and have received a lot of positive feedback, which is very motivating for us going ahead to releasing an even more convincing Beta-Version. We also learned that there are many enthusiastic and motivated individual guides that love to use the service. Hence, we plan to design the Beta Version in a way that integrates tour providing organizations and individuals.
Additionally, we plan to seek cooperations with IT service providers (e.g. Rezgo) in order to offer guides not only increased marketing capacities but also a fully developed back-end. A major challenge will be to find an appropriate solution for comprehensive online and offline booking management. Although companies such as Rezgo have already presented first feasible solutions, we believe that there is still a long way to go. But the sprout is growing, for the rest it should just be a matter of time.
