Gil Antolin is a Founder at Luxury World Traveler based in Marbella, Andalusia, Spain, Europe. In 2012, my son introduced me to Instagram, a platform that would change my life forever. What started as a passion project—sharing my love for travel—quickly transformed into Luxury World Traveler, one of the largest travel pages on Instagram, now boasting over 4 million followers worldwide. With no prior marketing experience, I turned social media into a thriving business, getting paid to travel, consulting for over 2,000 hotels, and organizing 30+ influencer marketing events around the world. I also founded Hospitality IG Academy, a course designed to help hospitality companies master, grow, and monetize their social media presence. But the evolution didn’t stop there. In 2023, I saw another massive opportunity—one that could solve some of the biggest challenges in the hospitality industry. When Meta introduced AI integration with Instagram, I conducted case studies using an existing AI tool (one not even built for hospitality) and saw revenue generated within just 45 minutes. That’s when I knew the industry needed a custom-built solution. That realization led me to found Onu—the world’s first Meta-approved AI-powered omni-channel concierge software for hospitality. Onu integrates with Instagram, WhatsApp, and other major messaging platforms to: ✅ Drive more direct bookings and reduce reliance on OTAs ✅ Provide 24/7 personalized guest service in any language ✅ Monetize social media effectively and track real ROI ✅ Build long-term customer relationships with data-driven engagement With 12+ years of expertise in social media marketing and hospitality, I’ve built a platform that leverages AI to transform guest engagement, increase hotel revenue, and optimize operations. From launching a passion-driven Instagram brand to developing a cutting-edge AI solution, my mission has remained the same: to innovate, disrupt, and help businesses thrive in the digital age. If you're in travel, hospitality, or digital marketing, let’s connect—I’d love to explore ways we can work together.
