MAKING HOTELIERS & CREATORS WIN TOGETHER

What we do

At WISH I WAS THERE, we’ve built a game-changing Social Selling platform
where content creators and hotels win together, by generating incremental income.

Influencers & Bloggers earn commissions by sharing their favourite places to stay through their own fully branded Travel Shop.
Hotels, in turn, get incremental bookings with
zero upfront cost through our hotel distribution channel.

It’s a win-win — powered by deep industry experience and next-gen AI tech.
Built for how people book travel today: socially, instantly, and with trust.

Our Mission

We’ve worked in travel sales and hospitality for years. We’ve lived the daily grind of a hotelier. We’ve watched influencers struggle to monetise their passion. And honestly? We knew there had to be a better way.

WISH I WAS THERE was born from that experience — a true passion and love for travel and authentic content.

Our mission is simple: Create a better, more streamlined way to socially sell in travel.
One that empowers influencers to become real travel brands — and helps hotels fill rooms without the hassle, risk, or wasted time.

Why We Care

Social media has become the most influential channel
in shaping travelers’ destination choices.

Over 75% of travelers are inspired to visit a specific destination after seeing social media posts about it, surpassing traditional influences like TV, news, and even personal recommendations from friends and family, especially if it is (UGC) User Generated Content.
