TripCreator lands $8M in funding, plans New York move

TripCreator, a trip planning service, has raised $8 million in funding from venture capitalists and business angels.

The Iceland-based company works with travel agencies and other industry companies, enabling them to create and manage trips itineraries as well as providing a white label service.

Travel agencies can use the platform free of charge and share commission earned from suppliers with TripCreator.

The company says its platform holds hundreds of thousands of points of interest that can be integrated with other travel inventory to make recommendations to customers.

TripCreator also offers mobile apps, which allow travelers to update itineraries; a real-time suggestions functionality will be introduced in October.

The company began as a B2C service but switched to serve the B2B market in April of last year.

It announced it had raised $2 million in seed funding at the same time.

TripCreator says it is now planning sales offices in London as well as New York City with a view to move to New York by the end of 2018.
