Turistik

What Turistik does

Turistik is a privately held Chilean tourism and entertainment operator headquartered in Santiago that, since winning the public licitation in 2013, has administered the principal attractions of Cerro San Cristóbal inside Parque Metropolitano — Latin America's largest urban park and the 4th largest urban park in the world. The company runs the Teleférico (cable car), Funicular (a Chilean Historic Monument since 2000), Panoramic Buses (natural gas-powered, wheelchair-accessible), Parque Aventura adventure parks, and Café Tudor at the Funicular summit. It also operates Chile's only London-style double-decker Hop On Hop Off tourist bus across 13 stops and maintains a network of 16 physical info centers across malls, hotels, the airport, and key tourist districts in Santiago.

The platform is anchored on a direct-to-consumer e-commerce backbone at turistik.com with dedicated ticketing domains (telefericoonline.cl, funicularonline.cl, aventuraonline.cl), multi-currency checkout (CLP, USD, BRL), and WhatsApp-based support for international reservations. Proprietary features include the Hop On Hop Off Big Bus (no category competitor in Chile), an immersive Parque Aventura combining augmented reality and gamified XP/prize mechanics, and EJump, described as a unique mixed-reality competitive jump experience in Chile. Technology is operational rather than AI-led — no disclosed ML models, data flywheels, or AI-native product layers.

Turistik monetizes across eight named streams: attraction ticket sales, packaged guided tours (wineries, ski resorts, Cajón del Maipo, coastal destinations, custom tours), bundled city passes (Santiago Pass and sub-bundles), corporate events and team building, advertising/brand activations on bus and attractions (reaching 2M+ annual visitors), birthday packages at Parque Aventura locations, educational tours for schools/universities/municipalities, and an individual reseller/affiliate program. Go-to-market combines direct consumer e-commerce, B2B corporate sales with quote-based outcome pricing, and physical ticket booths at each attraction. Customer base is dominated by individual domestic and international tourists, with secondary segments in families with children, corporate clients, and educational/governmental institutions; no public revenue figures or funding history are disclosed.
