Presence of a multinational, heart of a startup. This is Paraty Tech , which under the motto “In technology we trust”, reveals its main strength, while defining its character. Created in 2012 with our own capital and the objective of helping hotels increase their direct sales, we are currently a benchmark in the sector, with more than 2,500 hotels using our reservation engine and our revenue management solutions .

Hotel establishments had a lot to gain and little to lose. It was like starting from scratch, we had to implement a new way of thinking, being closer than ever to the client.
Three years later, very few doubt the potential profitability of the main direct sales channel: the official website. With more than 60 clients in its portfolio and nearly 30,000 reservations managed, Paraty Tech has arrived in Portugal to stay .
