TrovaTrip: Travel Marketplace
Updated over 4 months ago

TrovaTrip operates on a unique three-sided marketplace model, connecting Hosts, Travelers, and Operators to facilitate unforgettable group travel experiences around the world. Since its founding in 2017, TrovaTrip has booked over 23,000 Travelers on more than 1,500 trips to over 50 countries. With a focus on making travel easier, safer, and more accessible, TrovaTrip continues to grow and evolve. Here's a breakdown of how TrovaTrip works:

Hosts

TrovaTrip hosts are typically Content Creators or Community Leaders looking to engage their audience in real-life travel experiences. By partnering with TrovaTrip, Hosts can seamlessly organize and promote trips to their followers without worrying about the logistical details. TrovaTrip handles itinerary planning, transportation, accommodations, activities, and more, allowing Hosts to focus on connecting with their community and creating content.

Travelers

Anyone over 18 can join a TrovaTrip, but the majority of Travelers are members of a Host's community seeking safe and enriching travel experiences. Travelers benefit from hassle-free trip planning and logistics, as TrovaTrip takes care of all the arrangements. From booking accommodations to arranging transportation and activities, TrovaTrip ensures a smooth and enjoyable travel experience for all participants.

Operators

Local Operators are essential partners in the TrovaTrip ecosystem, responsible for executing on-the-ground operations in destination countries. These experienced professionals provide English-speaking Guides, book accommodations, and transportation, oversee activities, and ensure that every aspect of the trip runs smoothly. TrovaTrip partners with vetted Operators who have a deep understanding of their local culture and can offer authentic travel experiences to participants.

Monetizing Group Travel

TrovaTrip operates on a pay-for-performance model, where Hosts and Operators only receive payment if a trip is confirmed. This ensures that all parties are aligned and committed to delivering exceptional travel experiences. TrovaTrip earns a percentage of the total trip price for providing platform support, payment management, and planning services.

Hosts on TrovaTrip earn money by setting their margin on trip prices, which covers their time and promotion efforts. TrovaTrip also pays Hosts a commission for each booking, once the trip is confirmed with the minimum number of travelers. This ensures Hosts are compensated for their efforts when the trip is guaranteed to proceed.
