In this episode, we welcome Alexandros Trimis and Savvas Georgiou, founders of Welcome Pickups, a company that offers a personalized travel experience. Starting in 2015, an experiment was the reason for the establishment of Welcome Pickups, as a way to create a unique and personal welcoming experience for travelers in each destination. Having access to a network of experienced driver-partners, today over 4 million travelers use its services in 100 destinations and 50 countries while, the team has managed to collaborate with more than 1500 hotels and some of the most important Greek companies in the tourism sector, such as Aegean, Ferryhopper and Blueground. Welcome Pickups has raised a total of 11 million and aims to reach 200 destinations by the end of 2023, focusing on the American market. We talk to Alexandros and Savvas about how they started their idea and their upward trajectory, about the coronavirus period, the impacts and lessons learned, as well as about the new dimension that the travel experience takes with the combination of leisure and obligations, or as they themselves describe it, bleisure.
