In order to speed up its growth in the sports tourism industry, Weebora has successfully closed its first pre-seed financing round, raising €1.3 million. The firm wants to become the premier global platform for active tourism and only offers travel experiences related to padel. Enhancing its digital platform, increasing worldwide brand visibility, developing strategic alliances, and expanding its internal workforce are the four main goals for which the funding will be allocated.
User experience is driven by innovation.
Technical development will receive a large amount of the funding. To improve the user experience, Weebora intends to roll out personalized interaction systems, dynamic travel planning tools, and intelligent search tools. These improvements are intended to satisfy the changing needs of padel players who want smooth, well-chosen journey experiences.
International collaborations and marketing
To increase its visibility in Europe, the US, and Asia, Weebora will fund global marketing initiatives. PR campaigns and influencer partnerships will aid in increasing brand recognition. Additionally, the organization plans to strengthen its relationships with padel academies, clubs, and resorts and broaden its network of premium places. In addition to new support initiatives for aspiring professional players, current collaborations with Premier Padel and the Federacion Internacional de Padel (FIP) will be strengthened.
Growing a team and achieving operational excellence
Weebora will expand its workforce in the areas of technology, marketing, product development, and customer service in order to maintain its growth. As the company expands into new markets and grows its user base, it hopes to maintain high service quality and effective business operations.
A growing influence in the field of sports tourism
Weebora currently accepts payments in five currencies and provides padel travel experiences in four languages. It has teamed up with prestigious academies like the Paquito Navarro Academy and the Rafa Nadal Academy in less than a year. Additionally, it supports Franco Stupaczuk, who is rated fifth in the world, solidifying its position in the professional padel scene.
Future-focused vision
Fabio Zecchini, the company’s founder and CEO, set lofty objectives for the following three years, including growing the user base to one million members and achieving a transaction volume of €10 million. With 80% of tourists increasingly looking for places to engage in sports, Weebora is well-positioned to take the lead in padel-focused travel.
