CAN YOU SUMMARIZE WHAT YOU DO? automatically become linked with local kite
schools to ensure that kitesurfers who book
accommodation can then easily find lessons or
equipment hire. Accommodation providers then
have the option to have either ‘request’ or
‘live’ booking. Registration is similar for
kite schools who can easily list details of
their kitesurf courses and their equipment
hire options.
WHO IS BEHIND THE PROJECT AND WHY DID
YOU THINK THERE WAS A MARKET FOR IT? AND FOR PEOPLE LOOKING FOR A HOLIDAY?
Sure! So we recently launched and we’re a
booking platform which enables kitesurfers
to easily plan their next dream holiday
through matching up accommodation options
in classic kitesurfing destinations with
kite schools, equipment rental and kitesurf
guiding. So you can basically get everything
set up for your next trip.
We are a group of passionate kitesurfers from
a variety of backgrounds. Over the course of
our many trips away we became frustrated with
trying to find suitable accommodation in a
destination and to then try to find somewhere
to hire equipment or to take a lesson. Often
your first morning in a new spot would be
spent hunting around. With kitesurfholidays.
com not only do you have fantastic ‘kite
friendly’ accommodation options but you can
also easily find the perfect school or place
to rent your equipment. With a sport like
kitesurfing where a lot of people don’t want
the hassle of traveling with all of their
kit this makes the platform particularly
relevant.
SO ANYONE CAN LIST WITH YOU?
That’s right. Accommodation providers are
able to sign up to the platform in 20-25
minutes and can add photos as well as full
details of room types, their facilities as
well as details of local beaches, towns and
bars. If they provide lessons or equipment
hire then they are also able to set these
up as packages and become a one-stop-shop
for booking a kitesurf holiday. If they
only provide accommodation then they will
