Investment by Dali Capital Partners will fund further innovation and marketing for groundbreaking PMS, POS and booking platform<\/em><\/p>\n

Gilbert, AZ – Today Laguna Creek, a Native American owned tourism and hospitality software company, announced it has raised $6.3 million in its Series A funding round with Dali Capital Partners. The investment underscores not only the increasing demand for software that reduces errors and labor costs in hospitality, but also the urgent need for innovation to get ahead of a rapidly transforming tourism industry. <\/p>\n

Laguna Creek began in 2022 as Native American Tours, the first Native owned booking platform for tour operators that is now one of the fastest growing platforms in the Southwest. Upon experiencing the difficulty of hotel properties in incorporating nearby tourist attractions and retail into their packages, as well as the need to streamline operational management, Laguna Creek built a transformative POS and PMS system from the ground up – designed by experts in every facet of hotel and tour operations. <\/p>\n

“With this funding, we are able to maximize the incredible opportunity before us to bring long overdue solutions for the hospitality and tourism industry,\u201d said Wyatt Gilmore, CEO of Laguna Creek. \u201cOur success will mean success for our clients, our communities and the Native economy, and we are now one step closer to that goal.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cWe are thrilled to partner with Laguna Creek to support this incredible team and technology,\u201d said Dallas Sauer, Co-Founder of Dali Capital Partners. \u201cThis platform will save clients millions in operation costs, boost sales through AI optimization and fully capitalize on the growing interest in Native tourism.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cAbove all, we believe Laguna Creek is going to fulfill its mission to take over this industry,\u201d said Anita Nunes, Co-Founder of Dali Capital Partners. \u201cWe are incredibly excited to be a part of this journey.\u201d<\/p>\n
