FURTHERING its push into the digital sphere, Hong Kong-based publisher Luxe City Guides now offers an enterprise version of its consumer-oriented application.
Named Luxe Concierge, the subscription-based app is aimed at travel consultants and hotel concierges, offering them a platform where they can conveniently input and share their client’s itineraries with them on their smartphone devices.
Purchase of the app also allows access to Luxe’s full range of recommendations in 25 cities worldwide, updated by its editorial team on a monthly basis.
Simon Westcott, CEO of Luxe told TTG Asia e-Daily: “What we will do is help consultants with lower-value recommendations, which are the restaurants and shopping, the fiddly things that good (consultants) always do with a smile on their face for clients. But in their business model, those things have to be packaged up as an administration fee or booking fee.
“Effectively, what we are giving on the platform is their own app, co-branded with Luxe, without having to invest in their own proprietary software,” Westcott added.
Luxe Concierge is now in soft launch phase and available on Android and iOS mobile devices. The official launch will take place at Luxperience in Sydney from September 6 to 9, 2015.
