CDV

What CDV does

CDV (also known as CDV Travel) is a Spain-based B2B travel distribution platform founded in 2016 that serves professional travel agencies and agents with aggregated air, hotel, and rail inventory. The company operates as the commercial brand and reference entity of the LOW WORLD TRAVEL Group, with its proprietary technology stack developed by affiliated GAC Travel. CDV's core product is a multi-GDS air consolidation engine covering VFR, Tour Operation, SME, and Low Cost fare segments, supplemented by direct IATA NDC connectivity for native airline content. The platform also provides hotel wholesale with itemized VAT for corporate agencies and integrated rail booking across RENFE's AVE/AVLO brands and IPRO, with additional rail operators planned. Allbeds, a wholly-owned subsidiary, extends the platform via an API-based bed bank that enables third parties to access CDV's hotel inventory with configurable templates and response times.

The business model is wholesale/transactional: CDV sources inventory on negotiated rates and own allotments and on-sells to agencies on a pay-as-you-go basis, with free 24/7 booking support included. Go-to-market is a hybrid of nationwide direct sales ("Close To You" field team visiting agencies across Spanish national territory) and a self-service B2B registration portal offering immediate platform access. Customer segmentation spans mid-market travel agencies, tour operators (TTOO), and corporate-focused agencies, with no named anchor customers disclosed. No external funding rounds have been disclosed, and CDV appears to be funded internally by the parent LOW WORLD TRAVEL Group. The company employs 123 people and reports continuous investment in proprietary technology and product expansion.
