What Travelhouse does

Travelhouse is a Cyprus-headquartered travel agency incorporated as TRAVELHOUSE LTD and founded in 1997, operating from a single office in Nicosia. The company runs two core service lines: bespoke leisure journeys (honeymoons, family trips, yacht and villa rentals, wellness retreats, adventure expeditions, and luxury city breaks) and corporate travel management. It combines a traditional offline advisory model — staffed by senior travel consultants available 24/7 — with a proprietary web-based self-booking platform called NOVA targeted at corporate clients.

NOVA provides corporate travellers with pre-trip approvals, policy enforcement, negotiated air/hotel/rail/ground content, real-time spend and CO₂ reporting, unused-ticket tracking, and duty-of-care features including traveller alerts. The Be Inspired content layer on the website organizes destination discovery by continent, holiday type, and season to drive top-of-funnel engagement. Travelhouse is a partner of GlobalStar Travel Management, a worldwide network of 85+ agencies representing over US$14 billion in collective sales, which extends its multinational reach without requiring its own international office footprint.

The business model is transaction-driven at its core: Travelhouse earns commissions and service fees on bookings, charges a non-refundable service fee displayed at checkout, and derives recurring revenue from ongoing corporate travel management contracts and monthly management reporting. Leisure pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company is privately held with no disclosed funding, no parent entity, and a stated headcount of 1–10 employees. It markets itself as one of the largest travel agencies in Cyprus and was short-listed at the World Travel Awards 2025 for both Cyprus's Leading Travel Management Company and Leading Travel Agency.
