“Enabling travel and transportation businesses to break free from legacy technology and operational constraints is core to our foundation,” said Alex Mans, founder and CEO, FLYR. “Investing in and partnering with Roam Around furthers our vision and goal of arming airlines and hotels with the modern, AI-powered technology they need to deliver personalized customer experiences while driving efficiency and increasing revenue.”
“For the first time, AI is enabling travel personalization at scale, allowing travelers to easily craft the perfect, bespoke vacations,” said Shie Gabbai, Co-Founder and CEO, Roam Around. “We’re ecstatic to partner with FLYR, a move that positions us to realize our ambitious vision for revolutionizing not just individual travel experiences but the broader travel ecosystem as a whole.”
Every day, nearly 3 million passengers travel via airplane in the United States. However, airlines and hotels often have limited engagement with travelers as they visit hotels, restaurants, landmarks, and more, leaving a massive gap in building a deeper customer relationship, encouraging loyalty, and delivering a complete travel experience.
Online travel agencies like Expedia, Booking.com, and Priceline have seized this opportunity, commoditizing the traveler experience and leaving hospitality brands and airlines as a simple footnote in any travel story. Cloud computing and artificial intelligence (AI) can now enable airlines and hotels to take back ownership of the travel experience, delivering bespoke itineraries and travel experiences for every individual customer.
