MILANO (ITALPRESS) – Blastness, an Italian company in the travel tech sector, has recently been awarded the title of “best hotel booking system in the world.” The accolade was given to Blastness by Hotel Tech Report, an international platform that evaluates various software for the hotel industry, gathering reviews from over 2.5 million hoteliers in more than 120 countries. Andrea Delfini, founder, CEO, and president of Blastness, expressed his pride in this recognition in an interview with Italpress: “This is a significant award, especially since it is based on the evaluations of users, specifically the hotels that utilize these systems. We won first place in the distribution systems category, particularly in central reservation systems (CRS). We are also ranked in the top 10 in two other categories: revenue management systems, which manage hotel pricing, and booking engines, the e-commerce systems through which hotels sell rooms on their websites. Although most of our clients are still in Italy, winning on a global scale makes us very proud.”
The Minister of Tourism, Daniela Santanchè, also congratulated Andrea Delfini’s “team,” stating, “Blastness exemplifies how our entrepreneurship can excel, tackle market challenges, and achieve significant milestones. This success is not just a triumph for the company but for the entire Italian tourism sector as well.” “The Minister’s words make us even prouder,” Delfini added, “because they acknowledge our value in a high-tech field, with the majority of our systems based on artificial intelligence, in a market with significant global competitors from all over the world, and in a sector like tourism that is central to Italy and must continue to be crucial. Winning a worldwide recognition is a source of pride for us and, as the Minister said, I hope and believe it is also a reason for pride for our country, Italy.”
The award won by Blastness is not only a significant achievement but also a true starting point for capturing an international spotlight. “Currently, we are one of the leading companies in Italy. We were founded 21 years ago, making us one of the oldest companies in the travel tech sector, and we have been the leading operator in the 5-star hotel segment in Italy for over 15 consecutive years,” Delfini concluded. “However, our goal now is to become a global company and expand our presence in other markets; these awards reassure and strengthen our desire to internationalize. Recently, we initiated operations in Portugal, are working on opening our company in the United Arab Emirates, and have development projects in the UK as well as the United States. These are the first steps in a project for internationalization, which is currently our most important objective.”
