What Travel and Tour World does

Travel and Tour World (TTW) is a B2B digital travel media platform founded in 2009 by Anup Kumar Keshan and operated as a venture of the Indian private limited company Keshan Infotech Pvt. Ltd., with its commercial headquarters in New York. The platform publishes global travel news, industry rankings, and editorial research, distributing content through travelandtourworld.com, a mobile application, and 104 regional language editions that together reach approximately 23.6–25 million monthly active users across more than 50 countries, led by the US (7.48M), UK (2.52M), Canada (2.13M), and India (1.68M). TTW serves tourism boards, airlines, hotel chains, cruise operators, destination management companies, travel technology suppliers, and travel trade event organizers, covering structured news verticals across aviation, cruise, hospitality, MICE, and tourism.

The core technology is a multilingual digital publishing platform with localization across 104 regional editions and dedicated country-specific domains. Its productized content includes an annual series of "Top 50/100" rankings covering luxury hotels, airlines, airports, cruise ships, convention centers, wellness destinations, eco-tourism destinations, medical tourism destinations, heritage travel, nightlife, coolcation, and safest destinations, produced through editorial research and reader input from the 25-million-strong audience. The platform also operates an event media partnership business covering more than 120 international travel trade events annually, including WTM London, ITB Asia, IMEX America, ATM Dubai, and PATA Travel Mart, with over 2,000 cumulative event partnerships since 2009.

TTW's business model is B2B advertising and official event media partnership fees. Reader-facing content is free, while revenue accrues from advertisers (tourism boards, airlines, hotel chains, cruise lines, travel technology companies) and event organizers that pay for official media coverage, promotion, and editorial services. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The company is founder-controlled with no disclosed external institutional investment, no funding rounds, no acquisitions, and no public listing. Analytics and audience measurement rely on Google Analytics 4.
