In this episode hosts Steve Carran and David Millili sit down with Charlie Osmond, the passionate and pioneering co-founder of Triptease. From leading a regiment in the British Army to founding multiple companies straight out of Oxford, Charlie’s journey is anything but ordinary.

We dive into:

• Charlie’s early days in the British Army and Oxford Yacht Club 🛥️
• His obsession with solving the frustrations of online hotel bookings
• The evolution of Triptease and its mission to help hotels take back control from OTAs
• The power of parity, personalised experiences, and why your booking engine might be holding you back
• How AI and no-code tools are changing the game for hoteliers

Plus, Charlie drops insights from thousands of hotel data points and dishes out practical advice you can implement today to increase direct bookings and elevate the guest experience.
