Clio Muse Tours made a strong presence at Arival (April 28 – 30), which took place in the vibrant heart of Valencia. This pivotal event always serves as a hub for the travel experiences industry, bringing together professionals from across Europe and beyond to connect, learn, and shape the future of tours, activities, and attractions.
A Challenge That Highlighted Community and Resilience
This year’s Arival, however, unfolded under an unexpected and significant challenge: a widespread European power outage that deeply affected many, including parts of Spain. This was far more than a minor disruption; it was a serious incident that left communities without electricity, impacted countless lives, and, tragically, caused fatalities. Our thoughts are with all who were directly affected by this widespread incident.
Amidst these profound difficulties, the spirit of the travel industry truly shone through. We want to extend our deepest respect and gratitude to the Arival team for their remarkable dedication and professionalism in ensuring the event could continue safely and effectively. Their swift response and tireless efforts to manage the situation allowed valuable connections and learning to persist. We also commend the rapid response and relentless work of the local teams across the affected areas who rushed to restore power and provide essential assistance. It was truly inspiring to witness the genuine care and solidarity among all attendees, who looked out for each other and adapted to the challenging circumstances with grace and understanding.
Showcasing Innovation Amidst Adversity
Against this backdrop of shared resilience, Co-founder/CEO Yiannis Nikolopoulos and Co-Founder/CRO Daphne Tsevreni represented Clio Muse Tours. They were there to showcase to potential partners how they can integrate and offer audio tours as a service to their own clientele. This was achieved by emphasizing how B2B integration and powerful SDK library tools enable partners to enhance operations, drive revenue, and elevate customer satisfaction. Furthermore, they demonstrated our white-label web app tool, which specifically empowers partners to develop tailored, engaging experiences, all under their own brand and with full content autonomy.
Adding to our presence, Daphne Tsevreni also participated as a speaker in one of the event’s engaging sessions on self-guided tours. Alongside other industry leaders, she contributed valuable insights to the critical discussions shaping the future of travel experiences, even as the broader community navigated the power disruption.
Despite the temporary power disruption, Yiannis and Daphne successfully reconnected with many existing customers, solidifying valuable partnerships. They also received a high level of interest from numerous tour operators, demonstrating the strong market demand for Clio Muse Tours’ solutions. Through live demonstrations and discussions, they effectively showcased to potential partners how our innovative tools can fundamentally enhance customer experience and significantly boost revenue.
