Tourmie

Tourmie, founded in 2019 by Stelios Christakis, Giorgos Christakis, and John Makridis, is a guest experience application for the hospitality industry. The company has its headquarters in Heraklion, Greece. The idea originated from co-founder Stelios Christakis's experience as a property manager in Crete, where he identified a need for a digital tool to connect with local service providers and offer their services to guests for a commission.

The company serves hotels, vacation rentals, property management agencies, and resorts. Its business model operates on both a subscription fee and commission basis. The platform allows hospitality businesses to automate processes, manage guest communications, and increase revenue through upselling and cross-selling. Tourmie's web-based application is accessible on any device without requiring a download and can be customized with the property's branding. Key features include online check-in, a digital guest guide, real-time chat, management of guest requests, and a booking engine for ancillary services like car rentals, tours, and transfers. The platform integrates with property management systems like Hosthub to automatically import rental and booking information.

Tourmie has received recognition through various awards, including from the CapsuleT Travel & Hospitality Accelerator and Envolve Award Greece. The company secured $147K in an angel funding round in January 2023 from investors including Ennea Capital Partners and the Hellenic Business Angels Network.
