Opportunity in a crisis: A Bogotá "shoe-in" success story

As it is for many businesses in the tourism and hospitality sector, the coronavirus pandemic has put an end — if only temporarily — to Laura Márquez Botero's travel company. However, rather than sit tight and wait for the restrictions to pass, Laura used her first-hand experience of Japanese culture to exploit a gap in the Bogotá market. Here she talks about her new start-up aimed at brightening up the homes of the capital's residents. A true entrepreneur, she also tells us about her other ventures and her passion for travel — she has visited over 70 countries — that led her to set up Travel Round. *Find Laura's businesses on Instagram @okaeri.co and @inkitpapel. ******* Outro music: Master of the Feast by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution licence (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) Source: http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1400019 Artist: http://incompetech.com/
