The closure of the online travel booking platform Amoma, the third-largest online niche platform globally, which competes with Booking and Expedia, also has effects in Romania, where the company controls a business of over 11 million EUR.
The general manager of the local subsidiary claims to have received only one email from Switzerland, Amoma’s headquarters, but calls are no longer being answered, and he declares himself “in a state of shock,” not knowing what to tell the nearly 300 employees in Romania, who may be laid off.
In Romania, last year, Amoma reached 295 employees and a turnover of 52.2 million RON, with a profit of 2.8 million RON, providing call-center services for the Amoma.com platform.
