7 Travel Information Business Success Stories [2023]

Hello, I am Salman Rashid, Founder & CEO of Flight Expert. It is the first-ever online travel agency in Bangladesh. Our uniqueness was to build a state-of-the-art online travel agency with services focusing on Bangladesh primarily. This country has never before enjoyed taking assistance from any online travel agency.

However, the best part is that we achieved 50% more revenue in October 2021 than our pre-covid highest number on sales in a month, interestingly, and we are aiming to hit breakeven by March 2022 if all goes well in the market.

I’m Ritesh Raj, the co-founder, and COO of CuddlyNest, an accommodation booking platform for travelers. I have a travel tech background of over 13 years—so I’ve been at it since 2009!

That means focusing on all kinds of travelers, who are looking for all kinds of property types, with all kinds of budgets. Our inventory currently includes over four million properties of all types in 80k+ cities!

Hi! My name is Eva Rosales and I am the Founder of Hyperfluent, which I started 11 years ago. Hyperfluent’s fueling engine is a language learning through passion. By empowering people to build cultural ties with others and an appreciation for cultural diversity, my clients learn that a language is not just learning rules or focusing on grammar but rather a way to create a lifestyle without land or country boundaries.

My name is Raj Mahal, and I am the founder of PlanMoreTrips, an AI travel app that finds the absolute cheapest prices on flights and hotels. Before PlanMoreTrips, I founded TRVL MORE, a travel gear company for backpackers. I bootstrapped TRVL MORE from $0 to $20,000,000 in annual sales, and it is now one the top sellers of travel accessories in the world!

I am obsessed with traveling, and all my previous companies have been in the travel space. I have flown over 2 million miles, lived in 7 countries, and traveled to 65+ countries as a digital nomad.
