Our take
In-person travel agents have been hit hard in recent years, meaning many people are losing out on top-tier service when it comes to planning their vacations. Tourlane solves this problem by offering customers the full travel agent experience online.
The company plans and books multi-day trips for individuals and small groups, and has maintained a laser-sharp focus on customer-centric service. This approach has worked well for the company, which is now backed by a number of high-profile entrepreneurs within the travel industry, including the founders of Trivago and Airbnb. The funding and credibility these backers have provided have allowed Tourlane to invest heavily in its technology, ensuring customers have more flexibility in their travel arrangements.
Since receiving substantial funding in 2020, the company has remained steadfast on its course. The financial boost has given the company a strong foundation, and now, its focus is on maintaining momentum and scaling effectively as it navigates the evolving landscape of its industry.
