The problem

  • Booking a trip still means a dozen tabs: filters that do not understand what you actually want, prices that change between search and checkout, and no one to ask.
  • In emerging markets like Pakistan, travellers and local service providers are underserved by global OTAs. Local payment options are limited, there is no local-language support, and there is little inventory for small hotels, guesthouses and service businesses.
  • Small providers have no affordable way to reach travellers online. The global platforms charge 15–25% commission and are built for chains.

Our solution

Conversational booking

Describe the trip in plain language. An LLM-powered assistant searches, compares and books, so the traveller never has to wrestle with filters.

Global hotel inventory

Live rates and instant booking for 3.4M+ properties in 220+ countries through our global hotel supplier contract, so we had global coverage from day one.

Why now

  • LLMs have finally made natural-language travel search good enough to replace rigid filters, enabling a faster, more personalized booking experience where travelers can explain what they want and let AI find the best options.

Market opportunity

TAM
$1.2T

Global online travel bookings, 2026

SAM
~$80B+

Online travel in South Asia & the Middle East, 2026 (est.)

SOM
~$80M

Gross bookings reachable in 3 years (0.1% of SAM)

Sources: Phocuswright. Global online gross bookings are forecast at $1.2T for 2026. The Middle East had $101.2B of total travel in 2024, 48% of it online. South Asia is sized from India, its largest market ($47.2B forecast for 2026, 57% online), so Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka come on top. SAM is our 2026 estimate built from those figures. SOM assumes we capture 0.1% of SAM as gross bookings within three years.

Competition & moat

We are not trying to out-inventory the global OTAs. We compete where they are weakest: markets they treat as an afterthought, and travellers who would rather ask than filter.

Booking.com / Agoda
Where they are strongThe largest inventory and brand in travel, and an AI trip planner layered on top.
Where TravellerGPT winsConversation is our core product, not a feature. We put local partners and local markets first.
Expedia
Where they are strongFlight + hotel bundles, loyalty programmes and a deep marketing budget.
Where TravellerGPT winsA lean, organic-first cost base focused on South Asia and the Middle East, where Expedia invests little.
Regional OTAs
Where they are strongLocal brand recognition and local payment methods.
Where TravellerGPT winsGlobal coverage in 220+ countries through wholesale supply, plus AI search from day one.
Traditional travel agents
Where they are strongTrust, personal service and cash payments.
Where TravellerGPT winsThe same "just tell us what you need" experience, available 24/7 with instant confirmation.

Our moat

  • Millions of programmatic destination pages that already rank and bring organic traffic at near-zero CAC.
  • Direct relationships with local providers that global OTAs do not serve.
  • Conversation data that improves search and recommendations with every trip planned.
