Discover my projects
I have invested a lot of time and money in these projects and have taken high personal risks. True to the motto "no risk, no fun". I am happy to share the highlights with you here.
Invention of the first online travel booking system
With the multi-platform travel search app, Salim launched the first ever travel app in the Apple App Store and later also for mobile phones with the Android operating system from Google.
In the first days of the Internet, when online access was only possible with modems and buzzing signal tones, Salim invented the first solutions to make hotel rates bookable on websites, in the following years Salim and Jens developed the world's first professional Internet Booking technology for travel.
The whole story since the company was founded in 1999, the challenges, the successes as well as the setbacks and exciting innovations can be found here in the video.
HeliView the interactive travel search
With HeliView, Salim invented a unique and innovative entry into the travel search.
Emotional travel search with spectacular sightseeing flights over hotels, beaches and sights. Step by step, over 15,000 hotels were sensationally lapped by helicopter over the course of two years.
Travel search by voice control with Alexa
Joint project with Amazon. The world's first travel search with voice control.
Voice control is becoming more and more popular - spoken text messages, for example in WhatsApp or the control of household appliances such as heating and lamps, make smart home devices and applications possible today. With the “Travel search” skill, Alexa can now also find offers for the next vacation.
The world's first travel booking app
With the multi-platform travel search app, Salim launched the first ever travel app in the Apple App Store and later also for mobile phones with the Android operating system from Google.
The challenge was, on the one hand, to develop a three-dimensional globe that could be rotated and in which one could zoom into the map view at a detailed level. In times without Google Earth, the project initially seemed like an impossible task.
