Jeannette talks to Tim Hentschel the Co-Founder and CEO of HotelPlanner - a leading travel technology company and hotel booking platform - about the company's origins, why and how technology is revolutionising every business sector, and the unique ways in which HotelPlanner has created a revolutionary type of business niche.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Many are wary of the potential hazards that a rise in technology can bring, but those who embrace its use are seeing huge success by the implementation of all-new systems and processes.
HotelPlanner use AI to augment local resources and workers in order to create a more expedient form of travel booking.
The private sector are superb at spotting new trends and utilising the benefits. The life-changing results come when the public sector begin to also embrace them.
When a company becomes profitable and is able to repay the investments that made them, they take back control of their purpose and mission.

'The industry was hungry for what tech could do to sell more hotel rooms'
'We've always looked fore niches that we can automate'
'We pushed to profitability very quickly'
