Brickell Travel Management

What Brickell Travel Management does

Brickell Travel Management is a Miami-based private travel management company founded around 2009-2010 by brothers Mitch and Maikel Rodriguez. The company operates two core product lines: Brickell Corporate, a technology-enabled corporate travel management platform providing customized booking tools, real-time data and predictive analytics, expense-management integrations (including SAP Concur Elite partnership and Mesh), carbon footprint tracking, and 24x7 dedicated account teams across 21 key markets spanning the Americas, EMEA, and APAC; and Brickell Bliss, a leisure travel advisory service that curates bespoke itineraries for affluent individual and family travelers, leveraging VIP status at thousands of partner hotels globally. Revenue is generated through transaction fees on bookings and advisory service fees, with quote-based negotiated pricing for corporate clients and no publicly disclosed pricing tiers.

The company's underlying technology is described as a configured ecosystem rather than a proprietary platform: it integrates SAP Concur (Elite partner status), NDC and direct-connect airline content, dynamic fare-optimization algorithms, and real-time analytics layered onto standard travel management infrastructure. Brickell sells direct to enterprise and mid-market corporate clients via dedicated account managers and email-based inquiry, while leisure bookings flow through the Brickell Bliss advisory team. Distribution is relationship-led, supported by Virtuoso by-invitation-only membership, Air Canada Platinum Circle of Excellence status, American Express Representative Excellence Award, and a Travel Weekly 2025 Power List ranking among the Top 60 most successful travel retailers.

In 2024, Israel-based Talma Travel Solutions acquired a majority stake in Brickell, embedding it within the Talma Global network and providing institutional backing for further inorganic growth; Brickell simultaneously acquired a majority stake in Solutions Travel to extend technology capability for its luxury advisors. Ownership retains the founding Rodriguez brothers in partial stake, with Brickell continuing to operate as an independent brand under the parent.
