"Josué Gio is the founder of LastRoom, a Mexican startup that has revolutionized the travel industry, meeting the need to book a last minute hotel using a cell phone.

This young man, a graduate in Tourism, has a clear understanding of an industry that has stagnated over the last ten years and which is still dominated by a limited number of companies that offer expensive and sophisticated technology. The technology developed by Josué consolidates all the services that small and medium businesses need to control and automate processes in managing business travel on a single platform. This technology enables users to improvise and make plans anywhere in the city, allowing them to make same-night hotel reservations until 3 a.m. with a navigation and design that are distinguished by their intuitive features.

Since he started out in 2012, Josué has been very successful and currently has over 500 hotels and a team of 10 people. He is also the co-founder and director of a further two companies, Ofercity and Giomexia Inc."
