What Mega Travel does

Mega Travel Operadora S.A. de C.V. is a Mexico City–headquartered wholesale tour operator founded in 1999 that packages and distributes international leisure travel for individual consumers and affiliated travel agencies across Latin America. The company operates primarily through a B2B2C model: affiliated agencies quote, reserve, and purchase tours via the proprietary Café Mega Travel platform, supplemented by direct-to-consumer sales through the megatravel.com.mx website, a WhatsApp quoting workflow, and five physical offices in Mexico City, Guadalajara, Monterrey, Mérida, and Tijuana. Wholly-owned subsidiaries serve Argentina, Colombia, Panama, Peru, and El Salvador, and Destination Management Company (DMC) operations in Paris and Istanbul provide in-destination ground handling for European and Middle East products. Mega Travel also offers departures from the United States.

The product catalog is broad: branded packaged tours to Europe, Asia (Japan, China, Thailand, Korea), the Middle East (Turkey, Dubai, Jordan), North America (United States, Canada), Latin America (Peru, multi-country South America), cruise itineraries, plus specialized lines such as Luna de Miel honeymoons and religious pilgrimage tours. Tour packages include flights on partner airlines (Turkish Airlines, Emirates, Aeromexico, Air France, Iberia), hotels, ground transportation, guided tours, and visa assistance, with per-person USD pricing in double/triple/single occupancy and separate IMP (taxes and fees). Underlying technology includes the Café Mega Travel 24/7 B2B booking platform, a 470-piece promotional video library called Mega TV (350 full videos and 120 shorts), digital travel documents issued with QR codes, and installment payment plans through Scotiabank, American Express, and Santander, processed via Mercado Pago.

Mega Travel generates revenue from packaged tour sales to consumers and agencies, marked-up resale of bulk airline and cruise blocks, commission-based flows through the B2B agent network, and ancillary services such as groups, FITs, and event-based packages (including Soccer Passion 2026). The customer base is dual: individual leisure travelers seeking internationally packaged vacations, and a long tail of SMB travel agencies that resell Mega Travel packages using the company’s platform, marketing assets, and commission structures. The company is privately held with 251–500 employees, was founded by Ercan Yilmaz, and has been continuously operating in the Latin American travel market for over 25 years.
