About

Upiria is a travel community platform that helps travel professionals sell their tours and activities through our network of resellers such as hotels, travel agencies and various other travel businesses or directly to customers.

Solution & Product

Our product is a Business application aimed for tourism professionals (tour activity providers), allowing them to promote their products, chat with potential customers, see communication history, do marketing campaigns and get helpful insights from the market. Tourism professionals can simply register on the application, add their products and start building strong relationships with their customers. Once added, products are immediately available on a global marketplace where end consumers can purchase them with a click of a button. We are the only platform combining the strengths of a global marketplace with the capabilities of cutting-edge business application. Our application is mobile-friendly and intuitive, supporting professionals every minute of the day.

Innovation & Scalability

Upiria is focusing on decentralization of the travel experience market as opposed to the competitors who are predominantly focusing on the big OTAs. Those big OTA have the monopoly and the power to raise the commission fees quite high and make it impossible for SMEs (tour and activity providers to sustain their business). Sometimes the commission goes up to 25%-30% and if you add the tax those businesses have to pay, its simply not sustainable. This approach heavily contributes to the black market issue which impacts the Greek and other economies relying on the travel industry. t Our philosophy is to decentralize this approach and connect tour and activity providers to hotels, companies (connection to HR), municipalities, travel associations etc. Basically, allowing them to sell their products to end customers via various channels. This approach allows us to offer more traffic to the business and still keep the commission to 10%. Especially after the pandemic business models that focus on decentralization (hence the big push on Web3.0) are the ones that will take over due to the fact they exist to create a sustainable ecosystem with the right power balance between stakeholders.
