What Plug and Play Travel & Hospitality does
Travel and hospitality startups join the Plug and Play Travel & Hospitality accelerator to further develop their disruptive technologies throughout the three-month programs. Committed to helping companies scale their solutions, this is a valuable time for startups to interact with prospective private equity and VC funds.
Under the tech umbrella, Wheel the World has developed a one-stop-shop for folks with disabilities to securely book hotels and tours most appropriate to their physical needs.
