The investment will accelerate Turneo’s mission to change hospitality by enabling world’s leading hotels to offer in-destination activities to their guests.

In addition to growing the team, the funding will enable expansion into new markets and significant product enhancements.

Founded in 2022, Turneo enables hotels to manage their entire activities offering in one place.

It allows hotel guests to browse and book in-destination activities and transfers on the hotel website or app.

At the same time, it provides hotels with a single platform where the entire offering of in-house and partner activities is managed.

This includes creating and publishing new activities, partnering with local providers, as well as reviewing activities data, insights and reviews from their guests.

“Travellers plan and book activities before arriving at their destination”, said Fran Kauzlaric, co-founder of Turneo. “With Turneo, hotels can finally showcase their destinations and manage the activity offering to their guests. This means happier guests, with additional revenue and less operational hassle for hotels”.

Data they are seeing from the 2024 Europe summer season is fantastic: guests who booked activities gave hotels on average 8% higher ratings on reviews sites, and over two thirds of guests who booked activities at hotels using the platform did so online.
