Pacifico Hostel’ Success Story
Pacifico hostel is the result of a group of young Colombians who decided to change their office life for a project next to the Pacific sea and in one of the most beautiful regions that can exist. They are located within the Bahía Málaga National Natural Park and unlike many businesses anywhere, their objective is not only to provide a great experience to all their visitors but also have as their main objective to support the local economy and the environment that surrounds them. How? Through volunteering, buying fish from locals, beach cleaning campaigns, among many other activities.
They have so many things to be aware of, so they only want a simple and fast operation and marketing for their hostel. Hence, since 2017 LobbyPMS is their great partner for everything: Distribute the hotel offer in different sales channels with updated information through our channel manager, have the possibility to create direct booking links with our booking engine, be updated with legal documentation, have taxes updated with electronic invoicing, track travelers’ information, among others. Our job is to support that their main mission is 100% fulfilled, so as always, at LobbyPMS you will find a great ally in each step of growth you take!
