Alohar: The Future of Tourism and Investment in Latin America
During a captivating conversation with Fernando Unzue, the visionary CTO of Alohar, I found myself in the heart of Buenos Aires, a city that perfectly mirrors the innovative and bold spirit of this rising platform. Unzue, with his deep experience in developing technological platforms across Latin America and Europe, shared Alohar’s inspiring journey. “Our goal is to democratize travel, making it accessible to everyone regardless of their financial situation,” he told me, underscoring the platform’s commitment to providing flexible payment solutions—such as installments, local payment systems like Pix, and even cryptocurrency.
Inspired by Christensen’s Disruption Theory, Alohar is shaking up the tourism industry by offering an alternative to traditional accommodations, much like Airbnb did in its early days. What sets Alohar apart, however, is its focus on regional development and social impact. Born in Argentina, Alohar is rapidly expanding its operations across Latin America, with Brazil as the next major market.
Alohar’s story is one of rapid growth and regional development, inspired by the principles of disruption. Much like Airbnb in its early days, Alohar is transforming how people think about travel. However, it goes further by targeting underserved regions and integrating social responsibility into its core mission. “What sets us apart is our focus on regional growth,” said Unzue. By offering travelers unique experiences, such as stays at coffee farms or immersions in indigenous communities, Alohar creates opportunities for economic development in regions that have often been overlooked.
As Unzue explained, one of the key challenges faced by Argentinian travelers is dealing with the complexities of international platforms like Airbnb, where taxes and currency conversions add hidden costs. Alohar resolves this by offering payment in Argentine pesos, simplifying the booking process and ensuring transparency for local travelers. The company’s local roots and partnerships with banks allow them to offer installment payments, breaking barriers that have long excluded many from the travel market.
Alohar’s Success and Expansion Strategy
Alohar has already shown tremendous growth. With a staggering 375% increase in revenue between 2022 and 2023, and over 4,000 active accommodations in Argentina alone, the platform is rapidly gaining momentum. The company’s next major target is Brazil, a market with over 120 million tourists and a 7% compound annual growth rate (CAGR). This expansion is perfectly timed, as Alohar prepares to establish itself in Miami ahead of the 2030 World Cup, one of the largest global events in the travel industry.
Standing alongside Unzue in this ambitious journey is Alan Zettelmann, a key figure in Alohar’s growth strategy. Zettelmann, an expert in innovation and international networking, is helping the platform expand through partnerships and investor relations. His vast experience and deep network of strategic partners make him instrumental in driving Alohar’s international growth across the Americas.
Alohar’s Impact on Regional Development
Alohar’s influence extends far beyond its technological innovations. As a platform rooted in regional development, it empowers locals to monetize their properties, from city apartments to rural farmhouses. By fostering regional tourism, Alohar contributes directly to local economies, generating jobs and income streams in underdeveloped areas. This is particularly important for regions where traditional tourism infrastructure is lacking, offering new opportunities for growth.
Moreover, Alohar is setting its sights on becoming the go-to accommodation platform for the 2030 World Cup in Miami. With Miami’s booming real estate and tourism markets, Alohar is positioning itself to capture the influx of global travelers during the event. The timing couldn’t be better as the platform continues to grow and expand its presence in the U.S. and Latin America.
Why Investors Should Take Notice
Alohar’s performance to date is nothing short of impressive. The platform’s annual growth rate of 375% between 2022 and 2023 demonstrates its scalability and profitability. As the global travel industry recovers from the pandemic, the demand for non-hotel accommodations is on the rise, and Alohar is perfectly positioned to capitalize on this trend. Investors looking for a dynamic and rapidly growing company with a strong social impact should pay close attention to Alohar.
Now open for its Series A investment round, Alohar offers investors a rare opportunity to be part of this transformative platform. Early backers of companies like Airbnb saw exponential returns, and Alohar’s trajectory mirrors that early success story. With its focus on flexible payments, regional development, and ambitious expansion plans, investors have a chance to support a company that promises both financial returns and positive social impact.
The Future of Tourism Is Here
In conclusion, Alohar is not just another competitor to Airbnb; it’s a game-changer in the travel industry. With leaders like Fernando and Juan at the helm, the company is poised to redefine tourism in Latin America and beyond. As the travel industry continues to evolve, Alohar stands out as a platform that offers local, authentic, and affordable experiences while contributing to sustainable tourism and economic development.
