Trip4real, a booking platform that connects local experts with holidaymakers worldwide, has secured €1.5 million investment from the Spanish Ministry of Tourism.
The Company, which announced a partnership with Expedia in March, will use the capital to expand into new markets and launch new product features.
In recent weeks it has added experiences in Dublin, Edinburgh and Amsterdam to its site.
"I’m thrilled to receive this investment from the Spanish government. This proves that we’re on the right track and that people are excited about this new way of travelling like a local," said founder Gloria Molins.
"The next year is all about international expansion and product development, so expect to see Berlin, Prague and Istanbul up next."
Trip4real gives locals, such as tour guides, photographers and chefs, a platform to create, list and sell their tours to international visitors.
