Network Infovacanze

What Network Infovacanze does

Network Infovacanze is an Italian B2B affiliation network, operated by MondoEsclusivo S.r.l., that provides independent travel professionals with the regulatory licenses, operational tooling, and collaborative infrastructure needed to operate legally as travel agencies and tour operators. Founded in 1999 and headquartered in Marcon (Venezia), the network comprises over 200 affiliated agencies distributed across Italy, from Trentino to Sicily, serving six primary verticals: experiential incoming tour operators, outgoing tailor-made travel agencies, travel bus and NCC operators, outdoor and nature activity providers, hospitality and accommodation structures, and food and wine experience operators. The company holds official authorization (Protocol 63497, issued 12 July 2013 by the Provincia di Venezia) granting it authority to license affiliates under Licenza A (unlimited tour operator) and Licenza B (travel agency), with licenses registered directly in each affiliate's name rather than held by the network.

The company's technology stack centers on a proprietary booking and administration management platform (Gestionale Professionale), a B2B2C distribution layer, and a portfolio of branded consumer portals (Trips Italy, Trips SPA, Trips Fly Italy/Europe, Vacanze Scontate, MondoEsclusivo). The most recent platform addition is Expitalia.com, a zero-commission B2B2C portal for experiential incoming tourism launched on 9 January 2026, with first agency training in February 2026. Snowplow Analytics is used for privacy-compliant website analytics. The company directly operates Agenzia Viaggi Marcon as its flagship agency and physical training center, and partners with 100+ tour operators and service suppliers worldwide, alongside an insurance partnership with Spencer & Carter that delivers mandatory RC Turismo and Fondo di Garanzia coverage at negotiated rates.

Revenue is generated through three primary streams: a recurring monthly operational fee of €398 + VAT (€485.76 total) per affiliated agency; a one-time affiliation fee of €5,622.80 (including VAT) covering registration, contract, stamp duty, and SUAP charges; and annual pass-through insurance fees of approximately €700. The pricing model notably charges zero royalties on affiliate turnover, in contrast to traditional Italian networks charging 5-15%. Distribution is conducted through the affiliated agency network itself (each operating under its own brand), supplemented by direct consumer portals. Go-to-market combines content-driven lead generation (website, blog), free consultation bookings, and community-led referrals, reinforced by annual conventions such as the 2025 Sardinia gathering.
