Sand Explorer develops a virtual hotel chain: We standardize the appearance, standards, marketing and brand of our hospitality operations and present ourselves to the guest under a uniform brand - worldwide.

From IT to marketing, our decentralized hotel chain operates like a local hotel on the ground: In this way, we increase the quality for our guests and at the same time utilize all potential savings.

With the help of deep technological integration, we take automation to a new level: from marketing and customer approach to booking, payment and billing, to digital check-in, check-out and complaint management, we automate all processes down to the last detail. And often unnoticed, so that the guest is not "talking to a machine". Artificial intelligence also helps us to semi- or fully automate a large number of tasks, including those with an external impact.

The vertical integration of all these processes allows us to grow faster and stronger: We are constantly expanding. The increased efficiency of our virtual hotel chain allows us to present ourselves to the guests with above-average services where these cannot be taken for granted: For example, with a virtual concierge in the 2**-/3*** environment. We are testing new revenue sources such as resort fees and resort passes and are actively managing fees. In this way, we are further increasing the cost efficiency of our virtual hotel chain.
