LIVE Show #4 Replay: Shockwave

Here’s the replay from Episode #4 of our LIVE Show from March 26 with Travel Massive members from Amsterdam, Montreal, and Israel discussing the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on travel and tourism.

This discussion is moderated by Kevin O’Shaughnessy, co-founder of City Hook and Dublin Travel Massive leader. 

In this episode we hear from:

Johannes Koeppel, CEO and co-founder of WeTravel

Johannes is joining us from Amsterdam. As a payment and booking platform for multi-day trips, WeTravel is facing number of challenges in the current global situation. Although they began the year with a strong start, slow drops in booking started coming in mid-February. By now, there’s hardly any bookings for their over 3000 trip organizers. Johannes and Kevin are discussing what changes Wetravel had to make over the last few weeks, what is the plan for the next 18 months and their overall approach to this situation – find out on the LIVE Show.

Hamed Al-Khabaz, co-founder and CTO of Stay22

Hamed is joining the LIVE Show from Montreal. He’s the co-founder and CTO of Stay22 – a solution that helps event goers find places to sleep for their next event by embedding maps directly on ticketing or event discovery platforms. For the last weeks, Stay22 has been dealing with layoffs and cancellations but the team remains positive about the future and trying to use this downtime to prepare for the new wave of  travellers.

Yael Farjun, CEO and co-founder of ChinaClickGo.com

Yael is tuning in from Israel. She is the CEO and co-founder of ChinaClickGo.com – an inbound tour operator in China. Yael is also chapter leader for Shanghai Travel Massive. Currently staying with her family in Israel, Yael is preparing to shut down operations for ChinaClickGo and find new opportunities. She was in the middle of the Covid-19 crisis in China when she realized that this situation is not going anywhere soon and travel to China will not recover easily.
