Platform currently offers over 1000 tours and 150 attractions in 204 cities
In our attempt to present as many tourism initiatives in Croatia, we met up with young IT experts, Startup CEO Nikola Pivčević and CTO Stipe Giljanović from the Croatian company IBCI from Split on February 24, 2016.
They recently launched a very comprehensive portal www.happytovisit.com, a unique platform that enables visitors to book tours and transfers from Croatia and abroad. This particular platform includes numerous trips, excursions and transfer options offered by various Croatian agencies, as well as partner agencies from Spain, Czech Republic, Turkey and other countries. The portal currently covers 14 countries with 204 cities and 150 attractions and clients are able to select between more than 1030 tours, activities, and visits to attractions across the globe. With new offers being added daily, this will soon become the most comprehensive travel app available in Europe.
At the moment, the largest number of offers refers to Croatia as a destination and they all offer the option to join the group at any point, for example, if you wish to go on a one-day tour from Split to Dubrovnik, you can join in from “passing-by stations” like Podstrana, Omiš, Makarska allowing you greater flexibility than ever before.
Happytovisit is an extremely user-friendly platform: “Client’s satisfaction was our main aim and that is why the platform is set up this way. A happy client is always worth more than short-term profit”- says Nikola Pivčević and highlights that in order to ensure all customers get required information and help as soon as possible, they have established a 24/7 Happytovisit.com on-line customer support.
Through happytovisit.com guests can book any tour available, but in order to ensure a wider variety of choices, creators invite all interested parties to present their offer free of charge. Hotels, apartment and vacation house owners can, using our app without any investment, offer their guests tours across Croatia at promotional prices and get a commission from Happytovisit.com. This way they can provide their guests with an additional service, save them time and money in searching for the perfect day trip and make some additional money.
Considering that Croatia is a tourist destination, the goal of the creators was to give all tourists a simple gateway to the rich offer of different trips, arrangements and tours in one place, with which they will be extremely satisfied and return to Croatia.
“During our test phase in 2015, 500 tours and 150 transfers were booked, mostly in Croatia, worth 350 000 kunas. Foreign tourists have recognized the advantages of happytovisit.com and have already started to book tours for the upcoming season” says Stipe Giljanović.
Android and iOS applications are almost ready, along with additional modules for organizers and all people involved in tourism who want to include tours in their everyday offer.
