WeTravel

🌍 On World Tourism Day, we celebrate the journeys we’ve helped bring to life. WeTravel has powered trips for 1.6M+ travelers in more than 190 countries. With our recent $92M funding round, we’re building on this milestone for the operators who trust us to power their business. Here’s to making travel flow better, together. ✈️

Your work to provide life-changing experiences is important. Thousands of multi-day operators trust WeTravel to support incredible trips that have sent millions of travelers to over 190 countries. That's knitting and whiskey tours in Scotland. Hikes to Everest Base Camp. Dives in The Galapagos. Multi-generational custom food tours in Europe. Our dream: More travelers experiencing the world. We know that’s your dream, too. That's why we raised $92 million in a #SeriesC funding, tripling our valuation. With the support of our new and existing investors Sapphire Ventures, Left Lane Capital, Base10 Partners and Cross Creek, we’ll continue to work hard to build a platform that saves you time and money, so you can use those savings to create more experiences. Thank you to all the operators who continue to trust us. This funding is for you! The news hit Axios first, thank you for the coverage. Link in comments.

We’ve added a WeTravel Spotlight session to this year’s Travel Innovation Summit! Our CEO, Ted Clements, and CPO, Josh Chang, spend every day focused on two goals: helping multi-day tour operators win back their time and save money, all so they can grow business. By taking away the admin work you don’t want (and shouldn’t have to do), WeTravel gives you more freedom to build trips, reach new travelers, or even take a trip yourself. In this session, Ted and Josh will walk you through WeTravel’s journey — from a booking tool for student operators in 2014 to the full Operating System it is today. And who knows… they may even share a surprise update. Register for this session and more through the link in comments. 👀 We'll see you there!
