Strategic choice
Time to Momo and Moonback have made the strategic choice to continue together so that they can acquire a larger position in the city trip market. Both companies were already active here and together they offer stronger added value for city trippers. Time to Momo's expertise in the field of city trips and Moonback's strength in the field of technology, design and hotels together form the city trip platform. Niels Meijssen, founder of Moonback, is the CEO of the company.
The platform for your city trip
With most city trips you are only in a city for a short time and how do you get the most out of your stay? How do you know where to go? The locals of Time to Momo in more than 50 cities have already done the legwork for the traveler. Together with the editors, they find out where you can find the tastiest food, the most beautiful hotspots and the nicest hotels. And these, together with routes through the nicest neighborhoods, are clearly listed in the city guide, on the website and in the app.
On the site you will find all the information you need for each city, including a handy map with hotels, neighborhood information and a selection of locations that are worth visiting. You get the full range of hotspots, highlights and routes as a gift when you book a hotel or you can purchase it as a city app. This way everyone has their own twist on their city trip.
Mission-driven and steward-owned
Time to Momo's mission is to bring the human touch back into the travel industry. Nothing is as human as a city. Yet city trips are often standard and without respect for everyone who makes the city what it is. Time to Momo shows that things can be done differently and works with respect for travelers, residents, hoteliers, restaurateurs and the city itself.
Moonback was founded as a steward-owned company, a form of business in which voting rights (power) and profit rights (financial interests) are separated. This is with the idea that in this way the mission prevails and not profit maximization for shareholders. Time to Momo continues the stewardship.
About Time to Momo
