GRUPO CDV

What GRUPO CDV does

GRUPO CDV is a Spain-based B2B travel technology company that operates a proprietary platform serving independent travel agencies and agents across the Spanish market. Founded in 2016 as the reference (flagship) company of the LOW WORLD TRAVEL Group, CDV provides a single integrated interface in which travel agents can search, book, and manage air, hotel, and rail inventory for resale to end travelers. The company is led by founder-CEO Juan Francisco Trasmonte Perez and operates with a small team (11–50 employees) covering the Spanish national territory through an in-house field-sales commercial team, a 24/7 professional booking support service, and a self-serve platform registration flow.

The company's core product is the CDV Travel B2B platform, developed entirely in-house by its wholly-owned technology subsidiary GAC Travel. The platform aggregates air content from all three major GDS providers (Sabre, Amadeus, Travelport) alongside direct NDC connections, integrates Spanish rail inventory from RENFE (including AVE and AVLO brands) and IPRO, and exposes the company's own Allbeds bed-bank for accommodation distribution, including via API to third-party platforms. Additional proprietary capabilities include customizable vouchers, mark-up controls, itemized VAT handling for corporate-segment hotel bookings, and segmentation across VFR, Tour Operator, SME, and low-cost air modalities.

CDV's revenue model is transaction-based and multi-stream, encompassing commissions on hotel wholesale and Allbeds bed-bank activity, air consolidation commissions on ticket sales, rail booking commissions, and usage-based API revenue from third-party Allbeds customers. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; the platform operates on multi-year commercial relationships with travel agencies. Target customers are primarily independent travel agencies and agents in Spain, with sub-segments spanning corporate, tour operator, VFR, low-cost, and vacation travel. Marketing and brand-building rely on the corporate website, organic social activity around the CDV Challenge sustainability app, and published sustainability/PR assets.

Revenue model

1. Hotel wholesale / bed-bank commissions: Revenue earned on hotel wholesale activity, including via the company's own Allbeds bed bank, where CDV aggregates accommodation inventory and earns commissions/margins on bookings made by travel agents. The model operates as a wholesaler taking a spread on negotiated rates and own allotments.
2. Air consolidation / ticket sales commissions: Revenue from air consolidation activity, where CDV sources airline inventory via Sabre, Amadeus, Travelport, and NDC connections, and earns commissions/margins on tickets sold through travel agents using the B2B platform.
3. Rail (RENFE / IPRO) commissions: Commission-based revenue from rail bookings (AVE, AVLO) made through integrated RENFE / IPRO connectivity on the B2B platform.
4. Allbeds API (third-party bed bank): Revenue from third-party customers consuming Allbeds accommodation inventory via API, on a usage/transaction-based pricing model.

Core offering

GRUPO CDV operates a proprietary B2B travel platform (CDV Travel) that enables Spanish travel agencies and agents to search, book, and manage air (multi-GDS plus NDC), hotel (wholesale via its own Allbeds bed bank), and rail (RENFE/IPRO) inventory from a single interface. The platform is internally developed by subsidiary GAC Travel, includes customizable vouchers and mark-up controls, and is supported by an in-house field-sales commercial team and free 24/7 booking service.

Product overview

GRUPO CDV offers a single unified B2B platform — CDV Travel — that is internally developed by its technology company GAC Travel and built around three product lines: Air (multi-GDS air consolidation with direct NDC connections across VFR, Tour Operation, SME and LOW COST segments), Hotels (a worldwide wholesale catalog with itemized VAT for corporate agencies), and Trains (integrating IPRO and RENFE products including AVE and AVLO brands). Complementing the core platform are Allbeds, CDV's bed bank API product aimed at third parties for accommodation booking and management, and the CDV Challenge, a 2023-launched application for measuring sports and volunteer activity linked to the company's sustainability program.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• Kiwi.com: European virtual interlining and travel consolidator with B2B (Kiwi Partners) and consumer offerings. Comparable as a technology-led consolidator aggregating air content for resellers, though more global and consumer-skewed than CDV.
• TourRadar: B2B/B2C marketplace connecting tour operators with travel agents and consumers, with a focus on European markets. Comparable as a tech-enabled distribution platform sitting between suppliers and resellers, though focused on tours rather than air/hotel.

Direct peers

• Logitravel: Spanish-headquartered online and B2B travel platform (part of W2M group) selling holidays, flights, and hotels. Highly comparable to CDV on Spanish geography, multi-product offering, and presence in the B2B channel.
• Travel2BE (Travel2be): European B2B travel consolidator offering air and hotel content to travel agents. Direct competitor to CDV in the B2B consolidator category, with similar multi-GDS sourcing and commission-based revenue model.
• Travelgenio: Spanish B2B travel consolidator selling air, hotel, and ancillary products to travel agents in Iberia and Latin America. Closest direct peer to CDV given shared Spanish focus, B2B agency model, and multi-GDS air consolidation.

Broad incumbents

• Amadeus: One of the three major GDS providers integrated into CDV's platform and a technology incumbent serving travel agents, airlines, and hotels globally. Comparable as a travel-distribution infrastructure layer on which CDV and similar consolidators depend.
• Sabre: Global GDS incumbent integrated into CDV's multi-GDS platform, serving airlines, hotels, and travel agencies. Comparable as a foundational distribution provider and indirect competitor in travel-agent technology.
• Hotelbeds (HBX Group): Global bed-bank incumbent distributing accommodation inventory to travel agents and tour operators. Highly comparable to CDV's Allbeds product and overlapping with CDV's wholesale hotel model, but operating at vastly larger global scale.
• Travelport (now part of CWT / Tech-Enabled Travel): Third major GDS provider integrated into CDV's multi-GDS interface, offering travel-agent software and air/hotel/rail content. Comparable distribution infrastructure peer and indirect competitor to CDV's platform.
• eDreams ODIGEO: Major European OTA consolidator headquartered in Spain, with B2B (Prime) and consumer offerings across flights and hotels. Comparable on Spanish roots and consolidator model, but operates primarily direct-to-consumer while CDV focuses on travel agents.
