People Behind the Advisory

Led by Mikael Danielian, a travel and hospitality product, design and commercial specialist with 20+ years of experience across digital products, booking platforms, hospitality, tourism and travel technology — including founder and product leadership roles in several industry ventures.

The work is supported by a senior advisory network with decades of leadership experience across leading international travel and hospitality brands, travel technology companies, and tourism institutions.

“We provide practical, travel-native guidance rather than generic digital consulting — grounded in how travel products are sold, booked, supplied, operated and experienced.”

Specialist Capabilities

Each capability is refined through accumulated knowledge from years of practical work, testing and improvement across industry engagements — not only how to design, define, structure or integrate, but how these disciplines produce stronger results specifically in the travel and hospitality sector.

This includes traveler and guest behavior, decision-making patterns, trust signals and action triggers, booking flows, information hierarchy and structure, supplier and payment dependencies, and operational workflows — all the practical know-how that makes journeys easier to understand, options to choose and bookings to complete.

Product Definition, Scope & Requirements

Define product logic, scope, user stories and scenarios, requirements and priorities before design or development starts — or when an existing product needs clearer structure.

Turn ideas into structured products, roadmaps and requirements.

Digital Offer Packaging & Presentation

Structure and present information about rooms, fares, cabins, packages, inclusions, prices and policies clearly, so customers can evaluate options quickly and with confidence.

Make digital offers easier to understand, compare and select.

Booking & Inquiry Flow Mapping & Analysis

Map, analyze and correct search, selection, inquiry, checkout and booking flows by reducing friction, fixing missing logic, clarifying unclear steps and creating clearer action paths.

Help your users move confidently from interest to booking.

UX/UI & Product Design, Wireframing, Prototyping

Create visually strong and conversion-focused UX/UI designs through modern workflows and deep expertise in booking flows, portals, mobile journeys and complex interfaces.

Make booking journeys easier to understand, use and build.

Travel API Analysis, Logic & Integration

Analyze supplier APIs across content, rates, availability, booking, payments and operational logic to map effective integration flows and define implementation-ready requirements.

Turn complexity into structured product and development logic.

Digitalization & AI Adoption Planning

Identify where digital tools and AI can improve CX, operations, content, sales, marketing, and internal workflows — then define practical priorities, use cases and adoption steps.

Turn digital and AI opportunities into a clear, realistic action plan.
