Join host Bex Deadman for an enlightening episode of Talk'n TRM, as she sits down with Gary Hurst, the innovative Founder of Mysa.
Mysa is a pioneering technology company dedicated to revolutionising corporate accommodation management. At the heart of Mysa is their platform, myo, designed to streamline the procurement, verification, booking, and management of properties. Recognised for its simplicity, effectiveness, and transparency, myo ensures all properties meet stringent standards of safety, security, and guest welfare through its unique digital verification program. Notably, myo was featured in the prestigious Business Travel Magazine Tech Hotlist in 2022.
Gary's mission with Mysa began with empowering corporate buyers to have the same level of control and confidence in managing serviced accommodation as they do with hotel or airline programs. With myo, buyers can procure verified properties directly, negotiate non-commissionable rates, and ensure high-quality inventory that meets compliance guidelines as outlined in ISO 31030.
In this episode, Gary shares his journey of founding Mysa, driven by his vision to simplify the booking process and bridge the gap in the market. He addresses pressing concerns regarding safety and regulation in accommodation, highlighting the inherent risks associated with platforms like Booking.com and Airbnb.
Utilising technology, Gary and Mysa employ rigorous risk assessment and mitigation strategies to ensure accommodation safety and security. He emphasises the need for guidelines and standards for independent properties, advocating for a recognised certification scheme to establish a minimum verification standard across all accommodations.
Join us as Gary Hurst shares his insights and strategies for transforming the corporate accommodation landscape, ensuring safety, security, and peace of mind for travellers worldwide.
