Traveller Made

What Traveller Made does

Traveller Made, operated under the Serandipians brand, is a Paris-based B2B luxury travel network founded in 2012 that connects a curated community of luxury travel designer agencies with a vetted portfolio of hospitality suppliers across six global regions: Europe, Asia-Pacific, Africa & Middle East, North America, Central & South America, and the Caribbean. The platform organizes its inventory into distinct collections — a Hospitality Collection of 5-star hotels and resorts, a Private Collection of villas, yachts and jets, an Afloat Collection of luxury maritime experiences, a Preferred Collection of curated destinations and experiences, and Specialty Partners covering wellness, golf, skiing, water sports, and nature & wildlife. The core technology is a curated member-facing directory and content platform built around detailed partner profiles, with no public API or mobile application.

The business model is a two-sided membership marketplace. Luxury hospitality suppliers pay recurring membership fees to be listed as verified partners, and travel design agencies pay recurring membership fees to access the partner network and exclusive inventory. A third revenue stream consists of booking commissions generated when travel designers refer clients to partner properties. Go-to-market is channel-based: the company grows membership through industry relationships, partner showcases, and Partner Shows & Schools events, while distribution to end-clients is indirect — travel designers sell to high-net-worth travelers on behalf of the network. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is quote-driven via dedicated contact channels.

Customer segments split between two primary business units: luxury travel designers (member agencies representing high-net-worth clients) and luxury hospitality suppliers (5-star hotels, resorts, private villas, yacht/jet operators, tourism boards, and experience providers). End consumers are affluent individuals and families seeking bespoke luxury experiences. The company is private, has 11-50 employees, and has not disclosed funding, revenue, or ownership details. Strategic activity is concentrated in expanding the curated partner base across new geographies and experience categories, with no disclosed acquisitions, leadership changes, or product technology pivots.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Travel + Leisure Club (Wyndham): The Travel + Leisure Club leverages a large media brand and a timeshare/exchange network into a broader travel membership product. It is a much larger incumbent offering curated travel content and benefits that compete for the same affluent traveler base.
• Internova Travel Group: Internova is a large, multi-brand travel distribution and luxury network owner (including Tzell and Protravel) operating a similar curated travel-designer-to-supplier model but at significantly greater scale and with broader corporate/leisure coverage than Traveller Made.

Direct peers

• Virtuoso: Virtuoso is a leading global network of luxury travel advisors and curated suppliers, organized as a two-sided membership marketplace very similar to Traveller Made. Both curate 5-star hotels, experiences, and on-demand inventory for HNW clients via vetted travel designer agencies.
• Ensemble Travel Group: Ensemble is a member-owned cooperative of independent travel agencies with preferred luxury hotel and experience partners. It competes for the same designer-agency membership that Traveller Made recruits and offers similar preferred-supplier benefits.
• Signature Travel Network: Signature is a cooperative of high-end travel agencies with preferred supplier relationships and member benefits, operating a comparable B2B luxury travel marketplace model in the same customer segment as Traveller Made.

Others

• The Leading Hotels of the World: LHW is a luxury hotel consortium and a direct partner of Traveller Made, but it also operates its own travel advisor program (LHW Voyager) and direct booking channels that compete for the same luxury travel designer mindshare.

Emerging players

• Quintessentially Travel: Quintessentially is a luxury concierge and travel service that arranges bespoke trips, private access, and curated experiences for UHNW members — a comparable end-client proposition to what Traveller Made's designer network delivers.
• Design Hotels: Design Hotels operates a curated portfolio of independently owned design-forward luxury properties with travel-trade partnerships, partially overlapping with Traveller Made's hotel partner network and target designers.
• Mr & Mrs Smith: Mr & Mrs Smith curates luxury and boutique hotels for affluent travelers, offering both a membership-based travel-club component and a hotel distribution layer that overlaps with Traveller Made's hospitality collection.
• Andrew Harper (Hideaway Report): Andrew Harper runs a members-only luxury travel club with curated hotel, villa, and experience recommendations serving a similar HNW audience and travel designer community.
