Travel Plus

What Travel Plus does

Travel Plus is a Belgian, family-owned boutique travel agency headquartered at Schaliënstraat 5, Antwerp, in continuous operation since 1991. The firm positions itself as a 100% independent alternative to large travel management companies, organising personalised end-to-end travel through a dedicated single-contact "travel designer" model and an in-house 24/7/365 service team (with no outsourced call centre). Its offering is organised around four core service pillars — Business Travel, Marine & Offshore Travel, Group/Incentive Travel & MICE, and Holiday & Leisure Travel — supported by specialist sub-brands covering VIP Travel, Private Jet Charter, corporate events (Reizen & Meetings), and the Specials (idea-to-dream-trip) line. For corporate clients it offers a self-serve online booking tool inside pre-negotiated fare and policy guardrails, plus duty-of-care and expense management reporting.

The underlying technology is a web-based corporate booking and management-information platform integrated with the Altour / Internova Travel Group / Travel Leaders international network, which gives Travel Plus local rates, fares and on-the-ground service in strategic maritime, offshore and leisure destinations worldwide. There is no public or partner-facing API and no disclosed AI/ML capability; service delivery leans on personal travel designers and curated supplier partnerships (Emirates, Brussels Airlines, Air Seychelles, Sanctuary Retreats, &Beyond, Wilderness Destinations). Revenue mechanics combine fee-based corporate bookings (with explicit transparency and no supplier mark-ups, per the firm's own communications), commission- and fee-based leisure and MICE bookings, and recurring managed-service revenue from marine/offshore crew-change logistics. Customer segments span Belgian SMEs, large enterprises and self-employed business travellers, marine/offshore operators (shipping, energy, gas, oil), VIP clients (corporates, celebrities, governments, diplomats, families), and high-end leisure and incentive travellers.

Revenue model

1. Transparent business travel service fees: Fee-based revenue on corporate travel bookings; Travel Plus explicitly states it does not apply surcharges (no "opslagen") and provides full transparency on how the fee is built up. Combined with negotiated air, hotel and ground transportation rates sourced globally via the Altour network.
2. Leisure and bespoke holiday travel commissions: Commission- and fee-based revenue from designing luxury leisure, honeymoon, family, group, MICE and "out of the box" holidays; revenue is generated per booking through supplier commissions and service fees.
3. Marine & Offshore crew-change travel services: Recurring managed-service revenue from shipping, energy, gas and oil clients for crew replacement logistics (tickets, visas, ground transport, reporting), with seafarer/offshore-specific tariffs and 24/7/365 service.
4. Corporate travel platform and hotel marketplace (Travelstack/TravelPlus India): Recurring platform and transaction revenue from enterprise clients on a managed hotel marketplace (25,000+ hotels) with integrated booking, approvals, expense management and compliance; growth funded in part by Rs467 crore of prior equity from Accel, Qualcomm Ventures, Goldman Sachs and Panthera Growth Partners and an IPO.

Product overview

Travel Plus (travelplus.be) is a single, unified Belgian "boutique" travel agency headquartered in Antwerp (Schaliënstraat 5, 2000 Antwerp), in operation since 1991. Rather than a software platform with modules, it operates as an integrated service brand organized around four core service pillars — Business Travel, Marine & Offshore Travel, Group/Incentive Travel & MICE, and Holiday & Leisure Travel — supported by a set of specialized sub-services: VIP Travel Plus, Private Jet Charter, Reizen & Meetings, the Specials (idea-to-dream-trip) line, Fly Business & First Class with Emirates, and Corporate Traveler (with both a sector-specific services desk and an online booking tool). The offering is delivered by personal travel designers and a 24/7/365 in-house service team (no external call centers) and is reinforced through the international Altour partner network for global reach. Service is highly bespoke (luxury safaris, family trips, honeymoons, out-of-the-box itineraries, train journeys, marine crew changes), with a complementary Corporate Traveler self-booking tool and Business Travel Services / Duty of Care oversight for enterprise clients.
