Travel retail operator across hotels, airports, and cruise ports in the Caribbean and Mexico
Hotel Shops operates travel retail across five countries with ~50 years in the space, managing properties in hotels, airports, and cruise terminals. The tech stack reveals a marketing-first operation: heavy spend on performance advertising (Google Ads, Meta, LinkedIn), strong SEO tooling (SEMrush, Ahrefs), and CRM/automation infrastructure (HubSpot, ActiveCampaign, Mailchimp). The hiring skew—66 of 111 open roles in sales, 88 junior-level across the org—and the pain-point focus on reducing cost per lead and stopping wasted spend signal a company scaling volume acquisition while trying to tighten operational efficiency.
