In today's episode of the Travel Industry Mavericks, Peter Syme
and Christian Watts discuss Chris Newlands' unique business model
and the journey that led to the creation of spelfie.com.
We discuss how COVID has changed Chris’s business landscape and the
challenges of bringing brands, events, and partners together. We
discuss how Spelfie works, the unique benefits brands get when
partnering with them at events, and how Spelfie can work for
destination cities and in-destination supply partners.
Chris highlights the first socially distanced event for Spelfie and
how real-time opportunities can evolve the business's offering. We
also discuss how satellite technology is evolving, both in terms of
quality and capacity, the many possible new avenues it will give
travel partners, and what Spelfie will be doing in the future.
