Olivier Harrang
Managing Director, Smile E-Content & Solutions ltd
A few months ago, I decided to provoke a big change in my career. Then, I spent one year in Thailand, in analyzing all the opportunities and in working on a comprehensive business and financial plan about one of my projects. I used all my professional skills and my personal commitment in order to set up the company.
Today, we are launching the first searching and booking engine 100% dedicated on leisure in Thailand. There is no entry fee and our partners keep the control of their offers. We have adapted a successful business model and we are now proposing our partners a very efficient and powerful engine that allows them to improve their sales, their visibility on the Web and even their yield management.
We aim to connect both Thai and foreign customers to their dreams, through our wide selection of leisure activities everywhere in the kingdom.
We are also constantly listening to our partners, their needs, their wishes in order to develop our service and to bring them the right answer to their concerns. Visit us on www.thailema.com and check why our partners trust us.
