While the ‘Big Four’ (Expedia,
Priceline, Orbitz and Travelocity), as well as Google, continue to cannibalize
one another for survival in the extremely competitive United States Online
Travel Agency (OTA) industry, Pure Hospitality Solutions, Inc. (OTC: PNOW),
through its Oveedia booking platform, has turned its attention to one of the
fastest growing OTA markets on the planet: Latin America.
According to extensive market
research completed by PURE, the Latin American tourism market is set for a
major boom in the coming years as age old tensions between the United States
and Cuba appear to be on the decline. With five Central American and Caribbean
nations offering substantially lower cost of living estimates than tourism
hotbed Costa Rica, all signs point to increased interest in the area’s tropical
destinations in the short term.
Nicaragua, for example, experienced a
9 percent increase in tourism during the first five months of 2013, far
exceeding the global tourism growth numbers, which were recorded at 5 percent,
according to Central America Data. The opportunity to develop a substantial
foothold in this growing tourism market has PURE’s executives and shareholders
excited for the launch of Oveedia, which is currently scheduled for later this
year.
In addition to its growing,
relatively untapped market potential, Oveedia is expected to serve customers in
new ways that other big name OTAs simply can’t. A recent press release outlined
the details for a unique photo sharing component designed to increase inherent
value to visitors while simultaneously boosting initial valuations of the
Central America-Caribbean OTA.
“[I]t’s all about traffic,” stated
Melvin Pereira, President and CEO of PURE. “[T]his move is to greatly increase
the appeal and value proposition of the Oveedia online hospitality booking
platform.”
The company’s plan to differentiate
itself from competitors could prove to be extremely beneficial by providing
additional revenue streams for both the company and photographers. Through the
continued development of its OTA service, PURE is positioning Oveedia as a
‘must have’ for existing OTAs, which could open the door for a profitable
acquisition down the road.
