Yannis Moati is the founder and CEO of HotelsByDay, a daytime hotel services marketplace that allows buyers to purchase daytime use of hotels and their amenities.
After spending many years working in hospitality and travel, Yannis noticed a need in the travel industry that hadn’t yet been solved: daytime hotel services outside the usual parameters of an overnight stay.
Nine years in the making, Yannis shares how HotelsByDay has evolved, some of the biggest hurdles they faced along the way, and key learnings from his journey. He specifically stresses how important marketing and PR have been for the business— to both attract new customers and pitch hotels on joining the marketplace.
