"There is a lot of synergy between brands and services. Besides, there are lots of advertising to young people. The agreement is a great opportunity to spread business for both companies", explains the CEO of Quero Passagem, Lukasz Gieranczyk. In the opinion of the account manager of
HI Hostel Brazil, Stephan Leuenberger, the partnership has came at the right time. "Because of the high prices of airline tickets, both Brazilians and foreigners have increasingly chosen to travel by bus. If the client buys a ticket on the same website where he chooses his hostel, he can organize his trip much better," he says.
The inclusion of the search engine on
HI Hostel Brazil's website will probably generate an extra purchase demand. "We estimate that more than 3 thousand bus tickets will be bought in a year. Most of them may be sold during school holidays," says Lukasz. The search engine is accessible also for foreigners, once the tool is translated from Portuguese into English and Spanish and doesn't require the Social Security Number.
