Solution & Product

Travel planning today is fragmented and too manual. You have to compile your itinerary from scratch and juggle accommodation and transportation on your own, going back & forth across various sites. To organize a trip, esp. if you’re visiting more than just 1 city, requires days of effort - which if you can’t dedicate, you can go to a travel agency - And get a cookie-cutter itinerary designed for the lowest common denominator and get crammed into a large group. Or if you want something bespoke, pay a hefty amount, with little transparency and back & forth for every option you might want to consider.

We believe that software can solve all these issues. We believe it’s possible to have everything that is great with independent travel, delivered faster, cheaper and better than by a travel agency.

This is WeAreTravelers. The ideal Travel Agent, in A.I.

Our platform generates the complete itinerary for your vacation with 1 click - Sights & experiences, food & nightlife, accommodation & transportation.

Customize everything exactly as you wish, uniquely intuitively, on the spot.

To achieve this, we have implemented a combination of cutting-edge research and technologies (see below) and have crafted a fully tailored UI, which our users love.

Innovation & Scalability

Our offering is radically different from what the established players in Travel are doing. They do specific components only (e.g. hotels) and even those with more than 1, have no tight integration between them. In our solution, everything is always in sync. E.g. if you select to travel from Mykonos to Santorini 1 day later, you see, upon click, the updated ferry/plane tickets for this transfer and your accommodation and experiences in both destinations appropriately adjusted. Additionally, by them you have to manually put together your itinerary bit by bit. We generate it algorithmically for you, instantly. In order to achieve this, we are utilizing cutting-edge research and technologies: * To create your itinerary fully dynamically, we are solving one of the hardest computer science problems, the “travelling salesman problem”. * The Customization Engine uses Machine Learning. * Availability, prices and the main bulk of the info are retrieved via Integrations. Our solution scales particularly well: All we do is the cherry-picking of the places (sights/venues/etc) we want on our platform and then the algorithm synthesizes the itineraries for the requested destinations. The place’s info comes from the integrations, so adding new places, and hence destinations, is mostly a decision of switching them on. Also our model does not require great depth of places. If the user can browse among the best ~30 choices for their typology per place-type, they are more than covered
