FOUNDER
Elena Kurkova
Over 25 years of experience in the travel industry.
Started as a student at a small agency, worked as a sales manager for mass-market destinations, served VIP clients at a premium agency, and designed bespoke itineraries in the FIT department of a tour operator. Ten years leading destinations and product — launching from scratch, taking them to top sales positions, working with block-charter programmes and everything that comes with them. Ten years in the premium segment. Travelled the full path from mass-market product to ultra-luxury, from retail agency to DMC.
This experience means that every solution ELARTEX builds is designed by someone who understands the business from every angle: what the client needs, what the manager feels, how the leader thinks, and what the receiving partner expects.
Today, Elena is the founder and visionary behind ELARTEX, where nearly a quarter-century of industry experience meets new technologies and artificial intelligence — to make travel businesses run faster and more profitably.
