Winding Tree is hosting the 2nd edition of its hackathon
The company hosted the very first edition of this hackathon last year and it was a complete success.
Now, the team is getting ready for the second edition of #HackTravel which will take place between July 3 and July 5 in Lisbon.
This year, the primary focus will involve innovations in the travel space business.
Back in 2018, the successful event has brought together competitors such as Lufthansa and Air France who have teamed up to bring the revolutionizing wave of innovation to the traditional travel industry which didn’t quite keep up with times.
Air France became the very first airline that allowed experienced developers, including the ones from competition to be a part of its system.
Innovative software solutions revolutionize air travel
This is where Winding Tree comes into the picture and brings innovation.
The company has developed open source protocols and various software solutions that are allowing travel companies to become connected in an open marketplace.
This move offers a lot of advantages to all parties involved, and the power of intermediaries is reduced significantly.
The Hack Travel hackathon specifically targets key players in the travel industry, and these include leaders from airlines, hotels, startups, and OTAs.
The participants will be working together with various prominent software firms and developers in order to eliminate real-world industry pain points.
They will also be creating Proof-of-Concept proposals and tech hacks, while at the same time sharing and gaining collective expertise.
