Havar Bauck, Executive Chairman of HotelOnline said: “These are truly exciting times! With the merger process behind us, we are a stronger and more vibrant company than ever, with an amazing team. We are already making aggressive inroads into the Nigerian market, as we plan for continent-wide expansion over the next 24 months. Our ambition is inherently global, though. Beyond Africa, there is South America, the Caribbean, the Middle East, Central Asia and South East Asia. Watch this space!"
I was featured in TravelDailyNews in connection with the merger that created HotelOnline in its combined form. I spoke about the company’s expansion plans across Africa, especially into Nigeria, and the broader ambition to build a much stronger hospitality technology business for hotels in emerging markets.
