Travelgate

What Travelgate does

Travelgate is a B2B travel technology company that operates a global hotel distribution marketplace connecting travel suppliers (hotels, bedbanks, DMCs, channel managers, PMS/CRS providers) with buyers (OTAs, tour operators, travel agencies) through a unified API platform. Founded in 2012 and headquartered in Palma de Mallorca, Spain, the company serves over 1,000 buyers and 1,000 sellers across 30+ countries, processing 65,000+ bookings and 15B+ searches daily with €5B+ in annual GMV throughput.

The core platform is built on a dual-API architecture: HotelX (pull-based) and ChannelX (push-based) APIs for buyers, complemented by GraphQL-powered push and free pull APIs for sellers. Proprietary modules include FastX (a standardization layer unifying hotel, room, and board codes), Push-to-Pull (converting push-supplier content into pull format), Speed (smart caching reducing seller load by up to 80%), Traffic Optimizer, and AIna (a 2024-launched AI assistant). A 2026 acquisition of AO UK Ltd added AI-powered content orchestration. The stack is ISO 27001 certified and supports a self-service Travelgate APP for connection management, performance monitoring, billing, and optimization.

Travelgate monetizes through a transaction-based success fee on bookings plus tiered SaaS subscriptions (Essential, Professional from €450/month, Enterprise from €875/month), with pricing scaled to client GMV. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales, self-serve platform access, the annual ConX conference (800+ attendees), and trade show presence globally. Since 2024, Travelgate has operated as part of the Paris-based Travelsoft Group, and the company employs approximately 113 people.
