• The technological revolution has reached campgrounds
  Sept. 19, 2010
  For several years now, Marcelo Kronfeld, a restless 24-year-old entrepreneur, has been spending his summers with friends on the coast of Roche. In early 2010, he came to the conclusion that the camping industry needed to enter the digital age. After giving it some thought, he decided to look into the matter. It was then that the graduate with a Bachelor’s degree in Management and Administration approached several owners of these establishments and proposed creating a software tool that would allow them to offer their young customers the ability to reserve and pay for their spots online.
