ATLANTIC DOLPHIN TRAVEL SL

What ATLANTIC DOLPHIN TRAVEL SL does

Atlantic Dolphin Travel S.L. is a Tenerife-based wholesale travel agency founded in 2000 and formally registered in the Commercial Register of Tenerife in 2007, operating under the consumer brand "Atlántico Excursiones." The company runs an online booking marketplace aggregating 220+ excursion and activity listings across 18 categories — including bus tours, theme park tickets, boat trips, water sports, adventure activities, gastronomy, VIP experiences, and ancillary services such as airport transfers, car and moto rentals, baby equipment rental, and accessibility services — targeting international and domestic tourists visiting Tenerife, La Gomera, La Palma, and Gran Canaria.

The underlying technology consists of a multilingual web platform delivered in seven languages (Spanish, English, German, French, Dutch, Italian, Russian) with dedicated country-specific domains, an internal Zeus B2B agent portal (Version 4.0) for registered travel agents, a supplier portal where activity providers manage tariffs, availability, and reservations, and PCI/DSS-compliant SSL-encrypted payment processing. The platform integrates Google Analytics for web analytics and Facebook/Google OAuth for social login. The company holds ISO 9001 (Quality Management) and ISO 14001 (Environmental Management) certifications issued by AENOR and has received co-financing from the European Regional Development Fund under the EU's COVID-19 SME recovery program.

The business model is commission- and markup-based: the company earns transaction fees on bookings routed through the marketplace, acts as merchant of record for theme park and show tickets (e.g., Loro Parque from €44, Siam Park from €48, excursions ranging from €26 to €130 per person), sells digital gift cards in fixed denominations of €50–€250, and captures margin on transfers and vehicle rentals. The company operates from a single registered office in San Miguel de Abona, Tenerife, and shows no evidence of external institutional investment, parent ownership, M&A activity, or public revenue disclosure.
