What is
Kalimera
at a glance

Kalimera is digital platform that combines three components: a travel guide, an online booking system and an affiliate network.

Today’s digital landscape in the tourism industry is dominated by the few big platforms that display information based on the review system. That, plus the traditional travel operator’s package deals seriously limit how the traveler experiences a destination. Most of the visitors will visit A, B, C but miss X, Y, Z.

Kalimera aims to change that by creating a win - win - win platform:

  • For the traveler: Better information and more functionality

  • For the business owner: A free reservation system and an extra flow of customers

  • For the affiliate: A continuous monetary award for bringing users to the platform

Sounds good but how does it work?

It might sound complicated, but it really isn’t! Below you can see how Kalimera works for each user type.

Who is an affiliate?

Every user that brings users to the platform is an affiliate. Users can be referred to Kalimera by using an affiliate link, the provided QR code or by email.

Examples:

  • A tour operator

  • A hotel

  • An employee of a hotel

  • A taxi driver

  • An Airbnb owner

  • Literally anyone!

An affiliate registers for a free affiliate account on the Kalimera platform. They create their own curated lists of things that they suggest to travelers to do in a destination.

The affiliate earns money each time that a user who was referred to the platform by them makes a booking. They can withdrawn the funds from their Kalimera account straight to their bank account.

Why would a traveler use Kalimera?

We get it, a traveler nowadays has so much information at hand that it seems unlikely that they would use yet another platform. However no other platform offers the feature set that Kalimera has:

  • Custom made suggestion lists made by users

  • Online bookings

  • Secure payments

  • Handcrafted traveler’s guide with original material

1

The traveler creates an account, usually by scanning a QR code from an affiliate. They confirm their mobile number and can optionally add their credit card.

2

The user browses all the content the app has to offer: the curated suggestion lists of the affiliate, the tourist guide, the list of businesses and much, much more.

3

The traveler can see real availability for everything they want to try out in their destination and can easily book anything with the extra guarantee of the Kalimera network.
