Cestolino

Cestolino is a Czech online travel platform that combines a holiday search engine with community features such as travel discussions, photo galleries, and reviews of accommodations and destinations. Launched in 2012 as a startup, it was founded by Michal Vávra and later transferred to the dedicated company Cestolino s.r.o. in 2014, which is 100% owned by the founder. The site originally functioned as an aggregator of holiday offers from travel agencies and agents, and gradually expanded to include community functions, a magazine, and guides to countries, airports, airlines, and ferry companies. Cestolino positions itself as independent: it does not sell travel packages but recommends offers and services from verified partners. The platform covers a wide range of destinations popular with Czech travelers, including Albania, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Egypt, Croatia, Italy, the Maldives, Morocco, Mauritius, Austria, Greece, Slovakia, the United Arab Emirates, Spain, and Tunisia. In 2018, the company became an associate member of the Association of Travel Agencies of the Czech Republic. The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 significantly affected tourism and had a major impact on Cestolino's traffic and revenues. As of its homepage, Cestolino states it has been advising thousands of travelers daily for 14 years, offering destination reviews from travelers, accommodation recommendations, and a discussion forum.
