Thomas Dieben

Serial entrepeneur in the fields of Hospitality, Internet and Marketing. Based in Amsterdam, Holland.

During my study at the Hotelschool The Hague I have had the opportunity to work for Leading Hotels of the World at their Internet marketing department. Next to the fact that it was a great experience to work and live in New York City, I came to the understanding that hotels are heavily depending on third parties like online travel agencies and franchise companies. This resulted in my ambition to help hotels with the creation of their own effective website to become less depending on those parties.

With Becurious - Digital Markering Strategies for Hotels we provide marketing services to the hotel industry. With these services we help hotels with the development of effective hotel websites, the integration of booking engines, digital marketing campaigns and user friendly hotel content management systems. Our clients benefit from these services by gaining more market share, improved online visibility and becoming less depending on third parties like online travel agencies (OTA's). See a list of references here.

Porter - Premium Web Presence for Hotels is our brand and platform for template-based hotel websites. Here is my Porter pitch: "Our method of working gives hoteliers the costs and efficiency benefits of a template-based website, while offering the customisation options and service level of a bespoke website. Combine this with our easy-to-use Hotel Content Management Platform, seamless booking engine technology integration and advanced Search Engine Optimisation settings and you have a winning solution for smart hoteliers."
