Hi everyone, I am really looking forward to your ideas!
I thought I'd mention that we are also conducting a series of interviews and are looking for participants that are based in the Asia-Pacific region and are either working with a destination marketing organisation (local, regional, national...) or with an accommodation provider or a museum. Interviews are about 45 minutes long, through a video call and there's no need to prepare anything. All results will be de-identified. If you're interested you can send me a message: contact@getaboutable.com
The ultimate goal of this project is to help us understand how we can (re)design our products and services better to help the travel & tourism industry connect with the accessible & inclusive tourism market.

I have created a Vacation Rental platform — www.beitibeitak.com — targeting the Middle East and North Africa. While our initial traction was very promising, the lack of fund and resources has affected our numbers and I am now in the process of looking for the right partnerships to take our startup to the next step.
Any thoughts or questions?
Hi Francois,
Thanks for sharing your travel startup here - it looks very well developed, bravo!
Here’s a few ideas for you:
1. Intelak Hub. They are a Dubai-based accelerator and incubator with a great team and alumni including many TM members. See
2. Microns.io is a marketplace for buying and selling startups. Perhaps you could meet some partners there.
3. Sigmund project is a place to find mentors and partners for early stage tourism ideas. See
4. Bond Connect is a new hospitality industry slack group, there may be some mentors or partners there. www.bond-connect.io
Hope that helps!
