TVtrip

TVtrip was a video guide platform for hotels, founded in 2007 by former Expedia Europe managers Marc Pfohl, Fabien Bourdier, and Mark Ruff. The founders' background in the online travel industry gave them the insight to identify a gap in the market for high-quality video content for hotels.

The company provided video production and distribution services for hoteliers globally. Its primary offering was creating professional videos of hotels, including their facilities and different room types. These videos were then featured on TVtrip's platform, which acted as a search engine for hotels, allowing potential customers to get a better and more realistic view of the properties before booking. This model was designed to help hotels increase their revenue through better engagement and marketing.

TVtrip's business model was centered around making video content more accessible and affordable for hotels. They offered technology and marketing modules to help hoteliers generate incremental revenue. The company was eventually acquired, marking a significant milestone in its journey.
