Grupos Travel Mayorista De Turismo

What Grupos Travel Mayorista De Turismo does

Grupos Travel Mayorista De Turismo is a privately held Colombian wholesale travel agency (agencia mayorista) that sells packaged travel products to retail travel agencies rather than to end consumers. Its core offering consists of pre-arranged group tour packages with blocked airfare and hotel accommodations — branded as Bloqueos 2026 — covering destinations such as Europe, Turkey, Dubai, Egypt, the Dominican Republic, the Caribbean, the United States, Mexico, and Peru. The company monetizes through transaction commissions earned from airlines, hotels, tour operators, and other travel suppliers when bundled products are sold to registered retail agencies at negotiated wholesale rates.

The company operates through a centralized online reservation platform (reservas.grupostravel.com) that requires agency registration and credentialing, supported by a physical and WhatsApp-based distribution footprint across five Colombian cities: Medellín, Bogotá, Cali, Pereira, Bucaramanga, and Barranquilla. Its go-to-market is a B2B channel-partner motion targeted at mid-market Colombian travel agencies, supplemented by an educational platform (Agente Experto) and a loyalty program (Puntos Travel) that rewards registered agencies with monthly points and prizes. Distribution is amplified through a corporate website, email newsletter, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, downloadable promotional flyers, and dedicated WhatsApp business lines per city.

Grupos Travel's supplier relationships are concentrated among a small set of airline partners (Avianca and Wingo as core, plus Arajet and Viva as secondary) and hotel partners (notably RIU Hotels), which provide the bloqueos and negotiated rates that underpin its wholesale value proposition. The company is privately operated with no disclosed funding, headcount, revenue, or ownership data, and maintains an active website with regularly refreshed 2026 promotional content.
