Travel start-up takes off from Hong Kong
****************************************
The company was started by a group of like-minded expatriates who came up with this home-grown business idea. The Chief Executive Officer, Mr Sebastian Renzacci, said that Trip Guru is a one-stop solution aimed at offering ease of mind for independent travellers who look for an authentic travel experience in Southeast Asia. Its website offers a range of uniquely curated lifestyle tours and activities in the region at competitive prices.
He said, "Hong Kong as a gateway to the Mainland provides us a great platform to access the Chinese market. Together with its position as a hub for international and regional travel, as well as the extreme ease of setting up, the city is the best base for us to start in the region."
He added, "Our founding team is composed of professionals from different international backgrounds. We are all impressed by Hong Kong’s business-friendly environment and the legal and technical infrastructure provided to new companies. We can also enjoy high penetration among the consumer market and the labour force from the city. By all measures, Hong Kong is the right place for us to launch our business."
The Acting Director-General of Investment Promotion Dr Jimmy Chiang said, "Thanks to its freedom and the open business environment, Hong Kong is an ideal place where startups like Trip Guru can let their ideas take shape and scale globally. I believe that their stories showcases our city's advantages as the major startup hub in Asia. I wish Trip Guru every success as it continues to grow."
