Meet the CEO and Founder of Bakuun.com, Marco Bacchilega as he graced an interview with Startup Eurolatinas. He established the company to help the hotels to increase the revenue by transforming the inventory into new products, creating benefits for the end-user with a new way to book a hotel room, and offering the travel agencies new products to sell.

Marco Bacchilega è un imprenditore seriale italiano che, come molti connazionali, ha trovato terreno fertile per le proprie idee fuori dalla madrepatria. La sua ultima creatura, Bakuun, è una piattaforma che aiuta gli hotel a incrementare il revenue, sia attraverso le prenotazioni dirette che con la vendita di ancillary. Dopo una forte espansione in oriente, Marco ha pensato di portare questa tecnologia in Italia, in un momento in cui c’è un forte bisogno di aumentare i fatturati del mondo ricettivo. Ad affiancarlo in questa sfida c’è Anna De Simone, ex direttrice di hotel, oggi Business Developer di Bakuun per l’Italia e la Spagna. Abbiamo intervistato Marco Bacchilega per farci raccontare più nel dettaglio la sua idea imprenditoriale.

Bakuun.com is delighted to announce the launch of its new website this month. Created by the in-house team of designers, developers, and planners, the revamped website showcases a cleaner and modern design with a user interface that allows ease of navigation.

Bakuun.com works together with travel agencies to provide more product offerings for consumers. Travel agencies generally promote only basic room reservations but most business and leisure customers look for specific products to support their needs. Unfortunately, travel agencies do not always have these types of products for their customers. 

When air traffic increases, thousands of flights experience delays and cancellations, leaving the passengers to miss their connections and wait for their next flight at the airport. It’s hard to define rules between airlines and hotels, especially for food and beverage. Confusion and unclear rules may lead customers to complain.
