Consultia Travel

What Consultia Travel does

Consultia Travel (legal name: Compañía Europea de Gestores de Incentivos, SL) is a privately held Spanish corporate travel management company headquartered in Sedaví (Valencia), founded in 2010 by Juan Manuel Baixauli, with additional offices in Madrid and operational presence in Portugal. The company sells enterprise business travel management through its proprietary cloud-based SaaS platform Destinux, which it bundles with a Personal Travel Assistant service — a dedicated human travel manager per client account. Destinux consolidates booking, approval workflows, expense management, ERP integration, and reporting into a single platform, and integrates with ~3 million hotels, 600+ airlines (including full NDC content), 27 car rental partners, rail operators including iryo, and VTC providers across 160+ countries; Destinux Green (launched 2024, in partnership with ClimateTrade) extends the platform with blockchain-based carbon footprint measurement and offsetting. The platform was the first Business Travel SaaS globally to obtain ISO 27001 certification and is built on architecture endorsed by Microsoft.

The company's go-to-market is sales-led enterprise field sales targeting mid-market and large multinationals (Medline, Grupo Gimeno, Froneri, Auxiliar Conservera, Ribera Salud, Cuadernos Rubio are documented customers), with inside sales inbound via a website 'Request a Demo' flow and a savings calculator tool, supported by case-study-driven referral. Revenue is generated primarily through annual SaaS subscriptions to Destinux combined with professional services via the Personal Travel Assistant, plus a separate MICE events line (Consultia Events & Experiences). Pricing is quote-based, tailored to company size, traveler count, and service scope. The company has raised €1.2M from SpeedOut (Feb 2022) and additional undisclosed capital from Orilla Asset Management (June 2025); Forbes reported a doubling of revenue and 75% booking growth in 2022. Operational scale is modest (11–50 employees) and the customer base spans three continents.

In November 2025, Consultia launched a major new version of Destinux featuring redesigned UX and new AI capabilities (process automation, traveler need anticipation, route/policy optimization), positioning the platform as a Spanish/Portuguese enterprise-TMC SaaS incumbent extending into ESG (Destinux Green) and AI-assisted travel management. The company holds over 20 industry recognitions from Iberia, IBTA, FITUR, CICV, Actualidad Económica, RateHawk, and Meliá, and maintains an academic chair with the Universitat de València focused on technology and sustainability in corporate travel.

Scale indicators6 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• Navan (formerly TripActions): Navan combines a corporate travel booking platform with human travel agents and expense management, targeting enterprise and mid-market globally. Closest direct peer in the SaaS-plus-concierge TMC model, though at much larger scale and capital base.
• TravelPerk: TravelPerk is a Barcelona-headquartered corporate travel SaaS platform offering self-booking tools, expense management, and human support for SMB and mid-market. Most direct competitor to Consultia's Destinux in the European mid-market TMC+tech segment.
• Corporate Traveller (CTM): CTM is the SME/mid-market corporate travel division of Corporate Travel Management, operating across multiple geographies with a tech-plus-human travel consultant model. Comparable to Consultia's mid-market enterprise positioning with similar Personal Travel Assistant model.

Emerging players

• Spotnana: Spotnana is a modern TMC platform providing travel booking infrastructure with NDC content and AI capabilities to corporates and TMCs. Competes with Consultia's Destinux in the enterprise travel platform category, particularly for buyers seeking pure-cloud, API-first architecture.

Broad incumbents

• SAP Concur: SAP Concur is the dominant enterprise travel & expense software platform, often integrated into TMC services. While not a direct TMC competitor, Concur is the de facto standard for expense management that Consultia's Destinux expense module competes against.
• Amex GBT (American Express Global Business Travel): Amex GBT is the largest publicly traded global TMC serving multinational enterprises with consulting, technology, and traveler services. Broad incumbent that competes for the same enterprise RFPs as Consultia, but at vastly greater scale and geographic breadth.
• Egencia (Expedia Group): Egencia is Expedia Group's corporate travel brand offering a SaaS booking platform with travel agent support to mid-market and enterprise. Comparable hybrid model to Consultia but with deeper inventory leverage from Expedia and broader geographic presence.
• BCD Travel: BCD Travel is a top-3 global corporate travel management company serving large multinational clients with proprietary technology platforms and consulting. Direct enterprise competitor with much larger scale and broader geographic footprint than Consultia.
• CWT (Carlson Wagonlit Travel): CWT is a long-established global TMC serving large multinational enterprises with technology, traveler care, and meetings & events. Competes for enterprise corporate travel RFPs and operates at scale across the same geographies Consultia targets for expansion.

Others

• Travelport / Amadeus (TMC technology layer): Amadeus and Travelport are global distribution system (GDS) providers whose infrastructure Consultia relies on for content (Amadeus is referenced in job postings for in-house expertise). They are infrastructure/ecosystem participants rather than direct TMC competitors but shape the competitive landscape.
