Excuse me, dahrlings, but...

Rumour Has It…
Ivanna Gabbalot

The birth of a Travel Nation has spawned the birth of a sale. Yes, Pumpkins, I have it on woolly authority that Jonathan Carrol has done it again. 

Travel Nation Canada is rumoured to have been acquired by Seekda. What is a Seekda? According to its website, Seekda “develops solutions for the hospitality industry to intelligently generate incremental bookings.” There you have it, in a nutshell. 

Whatever it is they do, dahrlings, Mark Rider is on the board. Along with four other men. (Hence the need to assure the reader that bookings are generated intelligently. Is there a stupid way to generate incremental bookings? Because if there is, I’m in.)

Well, frankly, good for you Jonathan. If you build it, they will buy it. I love it when someone makes money, dahrlings, even if it isn’t me.

Columnist

Part legend, part myth, all woman: Ivanna Gabbalot is OJ’s gossip columnist and considers herself the industry’s conscience. Equally annoying to Open Jaw management and inflated egos in C-suites everywhere, Ivanna works infrequently, preferring to snipe from the sidelines.
