The online travel sector is well-overdue a revolution. With Online Travel Agents (OTAs) charging commission fees as high as 15–30%, pushing up costs for hoteliers and travellers alike, many are now searching for an alternative.

GOeureka is committed to delivering their solution, a commission-free online booking platform that promises affordable, unbiased, and transparent travel for all.

With a strong core team already in place, GOeureka have also assembled a highly skilled and experienced advisory team to help guide and direct them in their mission.

Hospitality

Providing key insight on the hospitality and travel industries, Louise Daley (Deputy CEO, AccorHotels Asia Pacific) and Maria Nakpil (Ex-VP Regional Marketing and eCommerce, Hilton Asia-Pacific) have collectively over 45 years’ experience across the sector.

Responsible for the financial oversight and management of over 830 hotels with a turnover in excess of €4.5b, as well as non-hotel businesses encompassing vacation ownership, lounge management and subscription loyalty, Louise is knowledgeable and experienced across the breadth of the hospitality and tourism sector. She is on the Board for a number of joint venture businesses, including Huazhu Hotels Group, AAK Korea, InterGlobe Hotels in India and Reef Casino in Australia, and is a regular speaker and panellist at industry events, as well as a member of both the Australian and Singaporean Institute of Company Directors.

A proven senior commercial leader, Maria has a stellar track record of building high-performance Asia Pacific teams into a powerful revenue-driving force and a hotbed for innovation. Under her leadership, they have pursued bold initiatives that challenged the norm, and many have evolved into company-wide global solutions. She is experienced in brand management & marketing, public relations and hotel operations, and has worked for a number of other international hotel groups including IHG and Raffles International, before setting up her own consulting firm, Antiope Pte Ltd.

Together, they are intimately familiar with the current state of the online hotel booking sector and will use this knowledge to help guide GOeureka in presenting a next-gen solution that will shape the industry’s future.
