New Member Spotlight: Since its founding, Avera has sought to solve global challenges with technological solutions. We have created multiple technology solutions that will facilitate the tourism industry and maximize revenues that will ameliorate the financial strain experienced throughout tourism-driven economies as a result of hurricanes and global pandemics. The Caribbean will have to innovate its tourism product as it is the primary source of income for most countries. With the cruise line industry being forced to a halt due to COVID-19 and many islands still recovering from hurricane devastation, the advancement and revitalization of the tourism industry are critical now more than ever. As tourism-driven countries worldwide seek a solution to counteract losses suffered during the pandemic, many are prioritizing cannabis legalization as a way to generate revenue. Avera is uniquely positioned to provide two, fully integrated suites that manage the onboarding of residents and visitors seeking healthcare or cannabis. Our affordable suites are solutions that governments and the private sector can use to capitalize on these growing industries. 
 
We supply tourism-driven economies with technology that integrates governments with the private sector creating a superior experience for the consumer. This unique system that we have developed acts as a blueprint for maintaining a healthy and stable tourism economy.
 
In addition to software and mobile app development, the Avera team also specializes in web development, UI/UX design, consulting, testing and digital marketing.
