SIMPLY TRAVEL KRAKÓW

What SIMPLY TRAVEL KRAKÓW does

Simply Travel Sp. z o.o., operating commercially as Simply Travel, is a Kraków-based business travel management company founded in 2009 (originally as Splast Travel, rebranded in 2022) that delivers end-to-end corporate travel services to Polish companies. The firm is IATA-accredited and issues airline, train, bus, and ferry tickets, books hotels and car rentals, arranges transfers, intermediates travel insurance and visas, and organizes MICE events (meetings, incentives, conferences, exhibitions); a 24/7 in-house emergency service handles disruptions and last-minute changes for traveling employees. Service delivery combines a "modern online booking system" — described only at the level of partner-network integration for real-time availability and pricing — with dedicated human consultants and self-service corporate booking links.

The business model is transaction-fee-based on bookings plus professional-services fees for MICE and visa handling and commissions on insurance intermediation. Pricing is quote-based in Polish złoty net of VAT, with no publicly disclosed rates, and revenue streams are diversified across five lanes: travel booking, MICE/event services, insurance intermediation, visa services, and gift vouchers. Distribution is sales-led through direct corporate accounts, supplemented by self-service online booking and referral flows via the Uniglobe Travel International franchise network (membership since November 2012, covering 60 countries) and the 2021 merger with French TMC VoyagExpert (5 countries, 8 cities, 150+ consultants). Customer segments are horizontal across corporate and SME clients, with SME explicitly named as the strategic priority of the Uniglobe partnership.

Operationally the entity is small — 7 employees at the Kraków headquarters (ul. M.Medweckiego 17, 31-870 Kraków), registered capital of 100,000 PLN, privately held with no parent company or external institutional investors disclosed. Payments are processed through the Paynow system operated by mElements S.A. The technology stack described in source data is conventional GDS/partner-integration booking rather than proprietary AI; the company holds no disclosed patents or trademarks and no AI/ML capabilities are referenced. The firm's competitive posture rests on consultant-led service quality, IATA accreditation, and international network reach rather than product or technology differentiation.
