About Us
Disclaimer: we talk too much
In 1903 we had planes, the future of transportation rewritten.
In 1969, we took a small step on the moon and a giant leap for discovery. Things were looking great, the world was our oyster, we’d traversed grounds beyond the limits of our imagination. The world looked on with bated breath as technology changed travel, eager to see what would come next.
Fast forward to 2022 and we had…ChatGPT, which is great and all (the copywriter used it for spellcheck), but we were kind of hoping for ✨️teleportation portals✨️ and maybe…cyborg travel butlers? But we can’t have it all, can we? Entitlement is a few global crises too late, and that’s why we settled for the next best thing—Alola.
Alola is the lovechild between a travel addict and a tech nerd who were bitter about not being able to afford SpaceX
And so, like all intelligent geeks fuelled by spite, they did a complete 180, vowing to use automation and AI to democratise travel for everyone.
If ChatGPT is the big-brained nerd you bully into writing your essays (we do NOT condone bullying in any form), then Alola is your roguish childhood friend who gives it to you straight. When you need help, they’ll scheme the craziest solutions that somehow always work, All facts, no frills , and just the right amount of cheeky.
Don’t you hate toggling between multiple apps and websites when planning your travels? That’s like, so inefficient, so 2023.
Alola simplifies your entire travel experience by bringing everything you could possibly need into one easy-to-use platform.
From planning to booking to the journey itself, Alola’s end-to-end services handle all the annoying details.
No matter the trip, romantic getaway or corporate sleepover, we’re here for you to make you happy. (And unlike your ex, we actually mean it.)
In 2024, we have Alola. With us, travel is a breeze and a blast. Just pack your fun, the rest is done.
The Dream Team
We are the dream team because we are dreamers. This could mean that we are asleep on the job (because we’re working on overdrive) or it could also mean that we are THE TEAM that will achieve OUR DREAM.
Honestly, we prefer the second part.
