Company Summary
The Trip Tribe is transforming the outdated group travel industry by marrying inherently social trips with the social web. Compatible people make all the difference in a group trip, so we match travelers based on their social profiles. Customers pay a premium for bucket list vacations with people like them, not bundled flights & hotels. The platform is a marketplace in which tour operators get access to cohesive, profitable groups. Win, win, win.
